Getting back my security by "fixing" User-Account
Hey there,
when I first installed I set up my own account to be part of the administrator-group and deactivated UAC, because I came from XP and was annoyed about all the popups and prompts during the installation of all my apps. I made a backup of this set-up, and now, a year later, restored it, because my old win7 was broken in some points. Now I'm wondering how to restore the complete security for me?
Is it enough to remove the "administrator"-group for my user (so that only the group "HomeUsers" remains) and activate UAC? Is this the default setting, or is there anything left?
Thanks so far!
Edit: Damn, I made myself to "HomeUser" and activated UAC (admin acc is inactive, though). But now I can't do anything!? I thought this was the right way to do it, but now I can't even click "yes" when promped by UAC...
Edit2: Okay made it back by googling: using safemode of Win7, logging into Adminacc and than I could restore my user-acc to be part of administrators...
