    Changing user type to Standard User invalide size


    Hi all,
    I installed Windows 7 and ended up with a default user (AxeL) with Administrative privileges.

    Now I enabled the default Administrator account and lowered the privileges of my user AxeL (see Accounts.png).
    If I open the User Profiles Pane in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings the size of the user account is unknown (see Profiles.png).

    If I switch back the user Axel to Administrators everything works and I can see the right size in the User Profiles Pane.

    Does anyone have a clue on this?
    I've tried also Vista and 8 and they all seems affected.

    Thanks

    Elevate Axel to Admin account, hide the Built In Admin account: Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Forums

    This is the best way to set it up, the reason a new install is issued Admin account. In five years since Win7 beta I've never seen a reason why not, except for one or two of the most incompetent users imaginable. But who is going to be their Admin for them? Having a separate account just makes your right hand ask your left hand if it can act.
