Except, that it really isn't *the* admin account, but I'm beginning to question the merits of this distinction. I have to admit my own confusion on this. I know that when I first installed Vista, I was also taken aback that you still installed as the admin, and did the same: enabled the true admin account and changed my own account to a standard user account. However, I soon after found some documentation that explained that the default account that was listed as an administrator really was a limited user that could elevate to administrator permissions when prompted, but damned if I can find that now. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
