The first User established during the install of Windows is has Administrator rights and should not be removed. A Standard user can't make many changes.
There is a hidden Administrator that can be activated and deactivated. Here is the code I use:
NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:YES
NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:NO
Don't know if all caps is necessary or maybe just the way I wrote in my records. Probably will need to log off of the one in User accounts after that. And reboot to log into you one you need. It's hard to see but there is a space before the forward slash /.

Bighorn, are the Net User commands in DOS or Win commands? If Windows How do I execute it? I am the 1st user and do have Admin rights. I'm so confused. I do appreciate your 'sticking' with me though.
