Have you enabled THE administrator account in Vista rather than just an administrator
account? By default THE administrator account is considered by Gates to be too powerful
for us mere mortals to be given control over ! Here's how - Type cmd in search area
of start menu, right click cmd at top and click run as administrator, in command
prompt type :(very carefully)net user administrator /active:yes and press enter.
Close command prompt and then log off in start menu. You should see your new real
administrator account next to your other accounts. You should then have complete
control over everything.
