Administrator Gone
I did many changes and settings after installing winxp and everything was cool and I was logging on as the Administrator. Until i decided to create a users' account for my sister to use my computer. I had to create a computer administrator account first before creating other limited accounts. I created one but now i cant log on as the Administrator
 . can i get rid of the computer administrator account so i'll be able to use the Administrator? I cant go to Administrators Docs and settings, thanks |

yes you can, but you will need to be logged in as the adminstrator to make the change. ( your sisters account ?)

Did this happen after you deleted the messenger folder discussed in this thread?

At the welcome screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice and login as Administrator and password (not safe mode). Do yourself a favor and use an account with admin priveleges (if you want to run as administrator at all times - what is highly recommended is to use a poweruser account for regular use). You should be using the Admin account only to get yourself out of sticky situations.

I honestly do not know if it is connected, but under the circumstances if you haven't emptied the recyle bin, try restoring the messenger folder and try system restore to a few days ago when your machine was working ok.

Administartor gone
i will stick to this account as it has administrator privileges
and keep the real Administrator for hard times CRTL+ALT +DEL twice didnt work, but i had this happen, after i had made the new account for my sister and while making for her the settings she wanted like her own kazaa settings and her start menu... windows automatically installed updates and asked me to restart now i got stuck if i had to restart in one account i would loose the "changes" i had made in the other; in both accounts i was asked to restart. i tried to log off one of the accounts and when i did explorer was gone and i was left with a background and a mouse pointer. i eventually had to turn the pc off without a "shut down" (i know no other way), but the funny thing is that i didnt lose the "changes", settings i had made. thanks for you help guys, i appreciate it --Adel |
