I am totally new to Vista having switched over from XP three weeks ago when my old machine died (may it RIP).
I have been running under the account I set up when I started that I thought gave me full administrative privileges. However, as I have been rummaging through the tutorial under Vista Forums, I ran across an entry [http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html]that seemed to say that I have actually been running under some sort of limited privileges and needed to log onto some sort of master Administrative account to have true administrative privileges.
I tried to go through the tutorial and referenced article on changing a file called "Unattend.xml"
Questions: [1] Is it true that when I log on I only have limited privileges? [2] Is there a more straightforward way of logging on as THE administrator?, and [3] Is there some hidden danger in doing this.
I am wondering since I am having problems with linking via Ctrl-Clicks on live links (due to some sort of hidden restriction) and thought that the differences in the privileges I have and Administrator privileges might be the cause.
Thanks
Jerry
