Be ADMIN in Vista

Be ADMIN in Vista



Who so ever has used Vista must be annoyed of some dialogs asking for permissions whenever installing/un-installing softwares or deleting some files from windows drive.

Here are the 2 solutions for you to avoid such problems:
1. Disable UAC(User Account Control)
2. Use Administrator Account

1. Disable UAC - To disable UAC, Follow the path
Control Panel ->User Accounts -> UAC On or Off
Just select Off and restart your system. Now on, you won't get any problems.

2. Use Administrator A/C : Do you know that Vista has too a hidden administrator a/c like Windows XP? You can activate it in a very simple way.
Just follow the path:
start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt ( Right Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator)

Command Prompt window will be open. Now use the following command to ENABLE the ADMINISTRATOR Account.

Code:
net user administrator /active:yes
You will get a message regarding successful execution of the command. Now just logoff, and check you will be having an administrator account available to log in.

To disable the administrator a/c, use the following command:
Code:
net user administrator /active:no
