[Guest]

HELP! I've accidentally changed my user account to the "LIMITED" status, Now
I cannot uninstall etc...HOW do I get my account BACK to "Computer
Administrator" , so that I can do the things I used to be able to do? I am
the only user...Appreciate any help!

Restart in Safe Mode and log on as Administrator then restore your account
in Control Panel to its Administrative priviledges.

will this erase everything from your limited account though? will you lose
all your current files??

Hi,

No, this is just a status change. There is no loss of data with those steps.
