Administrator Rights

[Guest]

For some unknown reason I lost my admin rights and now I'm not able to change
any defaults (ie; email client, etc.). I have booted in safe mode and
selected "Administrator" to sign in but then when I click on my email client
(Incredimail), It thinks I'm a new user and wants to create a new account.
Can anybody help me?

Of course it thinks you're another user, you are using another account and
another folder structure. For all intents and purposes, you ARE a new
user.

From the Admin account, fix the rights on your user account.

If you can't, the account profile may be corrupted, and you may need to
create a new one and migrate what you can. Directions are here:

Why didn't you just fix your account?
