Hi,
can anyone tell me how I log on as Administrator? I am
the only user of my laptop and when I log on, there is
just my User icon. does that mean I am teh Administrtor
by default or do I have to do something else?

Thanks
 
Then you can only do it in the Safe Mode. Hit F8 during boot up right when
the white progress bar on the black background is displayed.
 
Wait, you asked how to become an admin. You most likely already are an
administrator but you can go to the Control Panel and click on Users and
check it there.
 
Vicky;
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select Safe Mode at the menu.
Select Administrator.
Go to User Accounts in the Control Panel
Select your user.
Select "Change account type"
Once you have another Administrator, you do no need to come to Safe
Mode, you can use the other profile with Administrator access.

You can also create other users with limited or Administrator
profiles.
