A
administrative rights
I purchased a Sony VAIO computer last week on an "open
box" basis from Circuit City. When I set it up, I found
out that the computer had previously been purchased by
Meghan and, for one reason or another, she had returned
it. However, she did not clean out all of her files.
Apparently Windows XP has a thing called administrative
rights and, without these, the user is barred from some
activities on the computer. It seems that Meghan still
has these rights. For example, she also used MIcrosoft
Money as I do and when I wanted to back up my file on a
CD, I was told that only the administrator could authorze
that. How can I get those rights reverted to me?
