Are you sure you're the "only" Admin user in your PC? It sounds like
"someone" set up a limited Acct for you so that you have limited privileges
on that PC. In other words, your story is contradicting. You don't know
what happened and you never change the setting, and yet you said you changed
your Admin privilege to a Limited privilege acct. How is it that you don't
know how to do things and yet, know how to change from Admin to Limited
setting?

The reason I say this, in another incident, a child wanted to bypass his
parent's supervision and posted a question in a forum to see if he can
disobey and work-around his parent's guidance.
