Just went through this myself. You may be the administrator, but you are not THE ADMINISTRATOR. There is a hidden Administrator account in Vista tat you may need to access to remove or change certain items. To access it, use the following directions: 1) Open the command prompt with Administrative privileges by opening the Start Menu, typing cmd in the search box. Then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open cmd with admin rights. 2) Type the following in the command prompt and then press Enter: net user administrator /active:yes You must type it in just as it appears above. 3) Restart the computer and then log in as Administrator. When you are finished, you'll need to disable this account. Do this by rebooting the computer and going into your regular account. Follow the instructions in #1, and then type the following, just as it appears below: net user administrator /active:no Hope this helps. Frank |
