Re: How do i make myself the administrator?

Hi

Are you logged as a Guest or is your Account configured as a Guest? I don't
know that their is a way to convert your Account from one with Guest
privileges to one with Aministraotr privileges

Reboot and at the Welcome screen press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice and access Windows
as the Administrator. Then create a new Account for yourself with
Administrator privileges.
