hi there,

Anyone know how to fix without formatting my drive? somehow my Administrator
rights have been removed from my machine. i can access it no problem but
when i do a regedit or try to edit msconfig it tells me i need to log on as
administrator. i contacted support for my machine they told me it looked
like the admin rights got removed, i have scanned for viruses and spyware i
am clean

thanks

Simply log in using the built-in Administrator account (which
cannot be deleted) and modify the desired account(s) and use Start > Run
"control userpasswords2" to modify the desired account(s). By
design, the only way to log into the Administrator account of WinXP Home
is to reboot into Safe Mode. For WinXP Pro, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL twice
at the Welcome Screen will produce the standard login dialog box.
