Editing settings for Administrator account in Windows XP
By admin | March 15, 2009
By default, Windows XP’s new user management tool only allows you to edit the Administrator account if there are no other accounts (excluding Guest) on the system that are active. Here is how to manage it with the Windows NT-style of editing users:
Administrator Account in Windows XP
- Go to Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Computer Management.
- On the left pane, open System Tools >> Local Users and Groups >> Users.
- Double click on the Administrator account and edit its settings.

I have an XP system that will not allow accessing the right-click menu in the start menu.
There is also a folder in Documents and Settings that is set by the past owner. It can’t be renamed or moved. Are these administrator issues in XP?

The instructions listed for changing the administrator settings do not apply to XP. Some of the steps do not exist. I have trouble with Google.

@Gary Neill:
If you are using Windows XP Home Edition, this won’t work for you since Administrative Tools are disabled in Home Edition.
