Windows 7 Home Premium and UAC Question.

[big_moviefreak]

I wonder how one would be able to turn on the internal Admin Account under the windows home premium version?

good question as I do not know that

You should be able to do it under "Manage"->"Local Users"

[big_moviefreak]

GregiBoy would you be able to take a screen shot with some step by steps.

Nah Mate, I don't use Win 7 and will not be until at least SP1 is released but was just applying general principles from Vista and what I have seen on Win 7.

General procedure... Right click on "My Computer"->manage->Local Users and groups...

Locate the Administrator account and enable and set password.

I did find this using google not sure if this works for Home Premium:

Don't know. That looks like Ultimate.

As a general comment, these are the sort of problems that make me steer away from Home version of Windoze. I will only run Professional/Ultimate versions.

Home versions seems to overcontrol the environment and little or no documentation to assit to overcome the limitations.
