Have To Admit It - I´m Probably A Bit Stupid...


Recommended Posts

I must say thanx for putting up with these sometimes stupid questions of mine :)

My main trouble (at the moment) is as follows;

1. During installation I would like to create only one account.

2. I would like to name this account anything I like (not administrator).

3. This account should have admin/full rights.

On the bright side - I have to say that this is a very creative forum!

With alot of highly talented people who also have high levels of creativity!

I tried that solution and ended up with;

- One Administrator account with admin rights

- My own account, without admin rights

Good knows what whent wrong?

I believe You.

But just to see that I´m not totally crazy I did a "manual" install of XP and there, just before XP is acutally started You get to add Your users.

If You only add one - this one will become the only user and also have admin rights. And you can name it anything You want...

I hate to say this, but I think you're wrong. Just because you created one user doesn't mean the default Administrator account is gone, it's just hidden. It will not show up in the User portion of the Control Panel.

Go to "Start", then "Run", and type "compmgmt.msc". Expand 'Local Users and Groups" and click on "Users". I bet Administrator is listed there, as well as the other account you created at startup.
