For the most part, windows seems to be working fine...except for that my
norton utilities says I do not have sufficient priviledges to modify a
setting. Which would be fine other than this raises the issue that before
then I considered a non-issue. I set-up this home computer and have
adminstrator priviledges...on the log-in screen, once upon a time, there was
an option for "administrator" log-in along with the other accts. That
option no longer exists. However, in control panel, it also is not showing
as a user, but there is an administrator user under documents and settings.
I was having trouble getting some items to work when I initially upgraded
from Win98 SE, so I ended up doing a complete install...ever since, the
administrator acct has disappeared from the log-in screen, and from the user
acct option under control panel. However, if I try to add an acct. called
"administrator", I get the error that that acct already exists.
Any suggestions on what I can do to correct user acct problems. The last
thing I want to have to do is do a complete new reinstall, unless that is
the only option. The last time I did that, I expected to have all the user
accts wiped out, but they were still present under documents and
settings...apparently a complete install is not really a "complete"
installation, ie. it doesn't completely reinstall all aspects of the
operating system or at least not user accts. I suspect this is where the
administrator user got screwed up.
