Idontwantspam Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Um? Your question is not very clear, can you elaborate on what you would like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 here is what i got from what you posted.You have your PC setup to automatically login to your account when it boots. The account you are auto logging into does not have admin privledges.Click on Start, then Logoff. If your computer logs you off and immediately back on, Click on Start, then Logoff again but immediately start holding your left shift key. this will halt some autologon utilitiesOnce you are on the Logon screen, if you don't have an Administrator account visible, hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice to get to the classic login prompt where you can type the name of the administrator (Default is "Administrator") and that accounts password.of course, I could be wrong because as Idontwantspam said, your post was not very clear about what your were wanting to know. Im just taking a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_block Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 is this your pc by chance ? why is it then you dont have admin privilages on your account ?geek covered it though ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDamm Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes, Click the "Switch User" button, but DON'T actually switch to another user. Log Off instead. You want to arrive at either the Welcome screen or the classic logon screen as mentioned. If Administrator isn't on the normal Welcome screen, you have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del TWO times for the classic screen to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Note that CTRL+ALT+DEL only works on XP Pro - if you've got HOME, you're a bit SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 hit Ctrl+Alt+Del twice to get to the classic login promptI believe this does work on XP Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ah - just built a SP2 VM, and it works Just never use Home, so I was unsure. Back to pro now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
