Limited User

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am trying to set up spyware on my computer but its saying that I am a
limited user and I have to be the administrator. When I purchased this
computer it came with a disk but I had a friend set it up and he used a disk
that he had instead of mine. Could he be the admministrator? And if so does
he have access to whats on my computer if he is the administrator?
