Changing Administrative Rights

I just reinstalled after a crash. I noticed that I am logged on as Administrator and I would like to change this. What do I do? Please e-mail me. I don't always get on here.

Go to Compter Management/users and groups. Create users with
passwords in there. When you create a new user, by default they are a member
of the regular users group - not administrators. If it is your computer and
you are the only user, using an administrator account is not that big of a
risk in relation to the convenience it will provide you with changing
settings and installing applications, especially if you remember to log off
when not using the computer and have a firewall for the internet and use a
antivirus program. If you decide not to use the administrator account very
often, be SURE to keep the password in a safe place in case you forget
