>Enable Administrator Account

>In Windows Vista there is a Built-in Administrator Account in addition to your normal Administrator account that was created. The Built-in Administrator Account is disabled by default.

Certain Programs/Softwares give us trouble in proper installation due to this disable. Even though we run the .exe file of the programs that is to be installed as “Run As Administrator”. For proper installation of the programs it is to be enabled.

• Click Start, and type “secpol.msc” in the search area and click Enter.
• You may receive a prompt from UAC, approve/login and proceed.
• In the left list, choose “Local Policies”, then “Security Options
• Set “Accounts: Administrator account status” to Enabled.
• Set “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account” to Disabled.
• Now log-off, and you’ll see a new account named “Administrator” will be available, click on it to login.

Log on to this administrator account. You may delete other user accounts.
