I was trying to change the name of my user account and
decided to delete the old one. Instructions said to make
a new admin account (which I did)...and change the status
of the old one to limited (which I did)..well I never
could figure out how to delete the old one and now I can't
find the new admin account...I'm stuck with the old one
and it is stuck in limited use...any ideas how to get back
to where I was before I decided to screw around with my
setting...When I click log off I never get a switch users
prompt of any kind..

An easier way to administer accounts. Log on with
Click to expand...
administrator powers. Open control panel \ performance &
maintenance\ admin tools \ computer management
Select local users and groups and open up users folder.
Select the user you want and right click on it
Select properties and member of tab. Click on add and
type in administrators to give full rights ( or users or
guests for others)
