Types of Accounts.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have used Windows for many years, but I am NOT a very
sophisticated user. Recently I got an HP digital camera
and I loaded the HP software and transferred some
pictures to my computer.

After that, every time the screen-saver came on, there
was a Welcome screen that had to be clicked to continue.
After much tribulation, I finally stumbled on how to get
rid of the Welcome screen when disabling the screen-
saver. However, the Welcome screen still comes up
whenever I turn on my computer.

Before I loaded the HP digital camera software, I never
saw a Welcome screen.

I found it was because I now had a "computer
administrator". Today, in trying to get rid of
the "computer administrator", I found out having
a "computer administrator" makes my computer more
vulnerable to viruses. I found out there were Limited
Accounts. I imagine that is what I had before. But,
when I tried to change from a "computer administrator"
account to a Limited Account, it said the computer had to
have an Administrator.

On one screen it advises me not to use a "computer
administrator" because it makes my computer vulnerable to
viruses, and on another it says I have to have an
administrator. I don't have a clue what to do, nor do I
understand what it is talking about.

Help!!!
