Standard verses Administrator

[Mark2006]

I have just upgraded to Vista Business. I have installed all the hardware
and software necessary to do my work. While doing that I used the account
type of administrator. At this point I am wondering if I should change the
account type to standard. My questions:

1) If I change it to standard can I change it back?
2) I presume I should have a second account that is an administrator account?
3) If I want to install software in a standard account, will it ask for my
administrator password?
4) When I signed on to vista for the first time, I created an administrator
account which I no longer see. Where is it?
5) Are there any good places to read more about account types?

Thank you!

Hello Mark2006,
#1 Yes you can change it back, BUT you have to do so in an
administrator account, which comes to ---
#2 You Have To Have at least One administrator account. Vista demands
that. Whether a 2nd admin account or not, it's your choice, not "should
have".
#3 Yes. Actually it would be better to do so in an admin account.
#4 The one you were using to "talk" to us must be your admin account
you created. That's my guess.
#5 To read more about user accounts etc. :
a.) click Start menu ( the circular logo at the bottom left corner)
b.) right panel, click Help And Support, click Table Of Contents, click
Getting Started, click User Accounts and Settings. You can start
reading. Have fun.
