help !!!!
It will not let you unless you do this while logged in an administrator account though to make the changes for the built-in Administrator. You cannot do it from a Standard account.

Why does Windows 7 have to be such a pain?
Corporates will never go for it.

I'm with Ken. They want to be able to keep control of their systems to make them easier to maintain and help keep them problem free.
Im with brink
