| what's the difference between 'account NAMED administror' and a account with admin privilegious? many amatuer radio programs do not work well if installed into Vista's Programs directory. Hence we have learned to not install that way but to specify a new directory in C: or even better to install into D:. this is what I do. But some of the programs which have auto update features or upload and download tons of data still get cranky. One of the fellows said that most of these problems go away if you login into an account named 'Administrator' and not into an account that just has 'administrator rights'. So how do I create an account named 'administrator'???? Now that I already have my account set up? please and thank you. -- ----------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland webcams at [url]http://76.16.160.118:8080/[/url] Current Weather at [url]http://hhweather.webhop.org[/url]      |
