Thanks to everyone, since you all contributed, I am going to write a combined reply.
First, I am the one and only user and, as far as I know, the only account on the computer, so I don't think that I need to enable the system admin account, as much as I need to make
my account permanently logged in with administrator privileges.
Thanks for showing me where to go to elevate to admin. I did not know there was a command prompt "accessory" that could be right clicked on and run as admin. I always just did run > cmd <ENTER>
So, I went to that, and elevated myself, then "enabled" the system admin account, and rebooted my computer and nothing came up any differently, as it showed when the new account was enabled in the tutorial. Just to check, and because I wanted to run sfc /scannow, I went to cmd, and it put me right back in the users directory. I tried to run the sfc /scannow and was told again that I do not have rights.. (What is up with that?
) So, I right clicked on command prompt accessory and ran as admin, then was able to run sfc /scannow. It is now at 79% and counting.
But, for the future, is there not a way to make
me, the one and only user of this computer, the "elevated admin" with full privileges so that I don't get this error any more?
Thanks guys!
