| Well lets just say that vista is getting annoying in this regard, presently i am testing the x64 version of Vista(RC1), and the account that you make @ installation should be the admin account right? wrong, you can view all the processes in teh task manager, u cant login in Safe Mode, but strangely i could make a new account, an admin account and from that I could do everything, was quite weird actually, and this happedned on teh x86 PreRC1 release too, so dont know if this is an isolated problem or just my fault but it happened twice so just thought id post. -- ---------------------------------------------- Posted with NewsLeecher v3.5 Beta 3 * Binary Usenet Leeching Made Easy * http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ---------------------------------------------- | Guest

| Hey there Jerry, Actually you are half right: The account you create on installation IS an admin account. However Microsoft has built in a lot of safeguards, such as every time you try to perform an administrative task it wants you to confirm it. As well it runs some programs in a reduced rights mode for security. If you want to runt them in full admin mode you have to right-click on them and click 'Run as Administrator'. I hope this helps clear things up for you! M -- MDG, MCT MCSA (2003), MCSA (2000), MCDST.

| Hello, Documents and Settings has been removed from Windows Vista. What used to be the Documents and Settings folder is now the Users folder. What you are seeing that says "Documents and Settings" is actually an application-compatability mechanism built into Vista to allow older programs to still work when accessing the old folder structure that Windows XP used. -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ | Guest

| The simple fact over here is that the moment a machine is joined to the domain, your Administrator(default) accounts gets locked out. So any user has to create a new Administrator Account before joining the machine to the domain..... Dippy Vista Enthusiast "Montreal MCT" wrote: Quote:
