techniquefreak Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hi fellow forum members!I just setup Win XP Pro (reformatted) And I wanted to make it real slick ... So I thought (and I'm sure others had the same idea before me) why not make the first account that's created immediately after setup a standard user account instead of an admin account. There's always the hidden admin account anyway, so this shouldn't really be a problem. Or so I thought. You see, when I open users tab in control panel and choose that account - named after setup - which defaults to administrator type account - I haven't the option to change this account to a user account, even though there's also the built-in administrator here ...So - in short - how can I achieve what I want to do? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimokid Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 HI,My first post, you can use net user <name> <password> /add commandthen use another one (carnt remember it, if you type net though you get the command options) that removes said user from the Administraror group, once done you can then see this in user accounts in control pannel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
