| | Administrator password I have upgraded to Vista premium from Xp without a password on my admin username. I now wish to put a password on this user but have been warned that EFS-encrypted files, personal certificates and stored passwords for web sites will cause problems. Are any Vista system files in this category? I do not want to put a password on and then find I have problems with the system. |
