Re: [JAWS-Users] setting user as Administrator
Actually, you can install apps with a standard profile--- you just have to type in the administrative password in the User Control window instead of just clicking the yes button. It is not a big deal and it is safer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] setting user as Administrator
Hi As was stated, only an administrator can change an account type. So log off of your new profile and log on with your old administrator profile. Go to control panel and user accounts. When you're logged on as an administrator, there will be a link to manage another account. Select that link, then find and select your new profile. Find and activate change account type and set it to administrator. Now log off of your old profile and log on with your new profile. Since you are now an administrator, you will see the manage another account link. Choose that link, choose your old profile and then find and choose delete account. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of kevin lee Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2015 06:24 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] setting user as Administrator I fixed the problem of no system sounds on my desktop by just creating a new profile, but now I don’t have administrator rights. how can I set a user as the admin? when I’m using the profile with system sounds and I go into manage users all I see is standard user radio button checked and cancel.when I go to manage all users all that’s displayed is the profile with the system sounds and guest the profile without system sounds is not shown!
