Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Administration / May 2008Standard verses Administrator
I have just upgraded to Vista Business. I have installed all the hardware and software necessary to do my work. While doing that I used the account type of administrator. At this point I am wondering if I should change the account type to standard. My questions: 1) If I change it to standard can I change it back? 2) I presume I should have a second account that is an administrator account? 3) If I want to install software in a standard account, will it ask for my administrator password? 4) When I signed on to vista for the first time, I created an administrator account which I no longer see. Where is it? 5) Are there any good places to read more about account types? Mark2006;710373 Wrote: > I have just upgraded to Vista Business.

Hello Mark2006, #1 Yes you can change it back, BUT you have to do so in an administrator account, which comes to --- #2 You Have To Have at least One administrator account. Vista demands that. Whether a 2nd admin account or not, it's your choice, not "should have". #3 Yes. Actually it would be better to do so in an admin account. #4 The one you were using to "talk" to us must be your admin account you created. That's my guess. #5 To read more about user accounts etc. : a.) click Start menu ( the circular logo at the bottom left corner) b.) right panel, click Help And Support, click Table Of Contents, click Getting Started, click User Accounts and Settings. You can start reading. Have fun.  Signaturet-4-2 Thank you! > Mark2006;710373 Wrote: > > I have just upgraded to Vista Business.
