| no administrator account windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator rights, when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know that I need administrator right to download or remove. How can I restore the original administrator account? |

| Re: no administrator account Right click on the program you want to remove, select Run as Administrator. Now, try to delete again. t-4-2 "desiree7790" <desiree7790@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2DC1AC7A-FA88-4CF6-9770-A61196E56B27@microsoft.com...[color=blue] > windows vista, I should have 3 accounts in my laptop, the original > adminstrator, guest which is off, and another one with adminstrator > rights, > when I try to use the last one to remove any software, it just let me know > that I need administrator right to download or remove.

When you go to uninstall software using the account with administrator rights and it asks for permission, have you just tried clicking "Yes"? |

Two questions: 1: What is this application you are trying to uninstall and 2: Is this a work computer? |

| Re: no administrator account You're still totally wrong. Running a program as administrator has nothing to do with uninstalling the program.

| Re: no administrator account May be my choice of words is not up to par.

| Re: no administrator account No, it is your concept which is wrong. Run as Administrator applies only to the one specific application which is started in that mode, and only for the duration of that particular instance of the application. Perhaps you were trying to suggest logging on to *the* Administrator account to perform the uninstallation. This is a very different idea. If that is what you meant, I would expect it to work, but I am not sure. I have never had a problem with permissions when uninstalling applications that I have installed, so I've never tried or researched using the Administrator account to uninstall an app. On Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:24:09 -0400, t-4-2 wrote: [color=blue] > May be my choice of words is not up to par. > Run As Administrator would have the necessary permissions to perform certain > tasks which require elevated rights, such as un-installing a program. > t-4-2 > > "Gene E.
