Administrator Problem.

[Mike]

Hello.

I'm having a problem with Windows XP home edition. In the
control panel for users, I had created a normal user for
the computer, thinking it'd still have access to all
functions just as the administrator would. I then removed
the administrator icon, because I didn't think it would be
needed, but now when I log on using the only user that's
accessible to me, I can't install programs, and I can
barely do anything on the computer. How can I regain
access to the administrator without having to re-format
and re-install windows XP? Thanks for help.

If you start in safe mode, you can log in as the administrator account and
create a new admin account.
