How to set an administrator account?

It's easy to set an administrator account: Start->Settings-->Control Panel->User Accounts->Pick a Task->Create a new account, in the text box 'Name the new account', enter a user name and click 'Next', keep the check box 'Computer administrator', and click 'Create Account' to set a new Windows administrator account.

Go back to the User Accounts window, and click the user name you newly created, and go on to click 'Create a password', then set a password for your user name.

How can I log onto Windows with the hidden administrator account?

When booting Windows, the Welcome Screen only lists the regular user names by default. The administrator's account is hidden. Press key combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete (Delete two times) to display Login Dialog Window and you will see a user name box and a password box. Type 'Administrator' in the user name text box and enter the password in the Password text box. Then you log onto Windows with administrator account

What privileges does Windows administrator have?

With a computer administrator account, you can:

a. Create, change, and delete accounts

a. Make system-wide changes

a. Install programs and access all files.

The Welcome screen shows the names of everyone with a user account for this computer. This screen appears when you start the computer or switch users. Windows administrator user names will appear on this window.

What can I do if the administrator password is lost?

If you lost your password on a computer that is part of a work group or is a stand-alone computer, check your password hint. (Your password hint is located on the Welcome screen beside the password prompt.)

If you have a password reset disk, you can use it to set a new password for your account. Your personalized computer settings will be retained.

If your password hint does not help you remember your password and you did not create a password reset disk, you will need to have someone with a computer administrator account create a new password for you. For security reasons, a computer administrator cannot recover your password if you forget it; he or she can only create a new one for you.

If so unfortunately, you have your lost administrator password, The convenient and easy way is to get help from windows password recovery software, like Windows Password Buster, which is professional and easy to reset any windows system in one second.

Administrator account has an overall control of the whole system, with administrator account, you can see and use all users' documents and folders, modify files, and install and remove programs. However, if with Guest account, you can only use the ready programs installed on the computer, unable to view and modify files and folders created by other users.

Re: What are your February Goals? - Hi Evan, Thanks for the feedback. I did wonder about those arrows, and the lack of a headline. I should probably add a headline and a set of arrows pointing to the Windows download button, then have the Mac option placed below it without arrows. Actually, if you had gone the "Mac" route on Windows you would have downloaded a pdf file, so no worries. Mac users, however, can't open exe files (unless they use OSX etc and have a Windows partition on their hard-drive). I'm still experimenting with download methods - the boomerang method / standard squeeze page download / splash page direct download without needing to join my list...

Re: A picture (video) is worth a thousand words.... - Phil, I switched to Mac leopard last year. I love it. It can also handle Windows on a separate hard-drive, so you get the best of both worlds. And if you are keen on doing more with video technology MAC is DEFINITELY the way to go. However, a note of caution - I have no intention of "upgrading" to Snow Leopard, which sounds bad. Also, on the Windows side, I chose XP rather than Vista.

Just save the recording as an AVI or MPEG and then load it into Windows Movie Maker and edit from there. Of course, Camtasia provides some nice editing tools as well.
