[How to access the true Administrator account in Windows Vista]

When i right clicked on computah in the start menu I got a menu of:

Open

explore

search...

manage

________

scan

________

map network drive...

disconnect network drive...

_________

show on desk top

rename

__________

Properties

I then clicked on manage and a window came up called computah management

but theah isn't anything even remotely like what you mentioned in your post...

"Start -->search or -->run and type "mmc".

When you do this, go to add remove snap-ins from the file menu.

Choose local users and groups snap-in.

You'll see that Administrator account has been disabled and you can enable it there.."

thank you N1K .... what is the bb code and what tags are you refering to... helps to learn what i did wrong. whoops i clicked on the bb code help and know what you are refering to... i didn't type that in i just clicked on the buttons at the top... perhaps i should have typed it first, highlighted the whole thing and then clicked the buttons... my bad... thank you

I did what you said N1K and I got this message "This computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium. This snapin may not be used with this version of Windows. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel."

I don't know where to find the 'MMC-based Computer Management section' . Is that part of what comes up when you first log in to a computer?
