Hi,

Two options.

Start > Run > enter "cmd" (without " ") and click OK. In Command Prompt
enter this command

net localgroup administrators

Under the -------- will be listed all member of administrator group and
therefore local administrator.

Second options is to

click on Start > Run > enter "lusrmgr.msc" (without " "). When Local Users
and Group MMC loads double click on Groups and double click Administrators.
Any user listed here is also administrator on your computer.

Note: if user is member of Administrator group and Gust group at the same
time, he has limited access to system (user is denied many (most) operations
on the system.

I hope this helps,

Mike
