How can I change the account administrator to a standard account?

Original title: How can you change your administrator to standard user after you have already chosen administrator?

need to know that I don't know how to change it, it won't let me

I have to format it?

Why would you want to downgrade your admin account? That would be like throwing the master key for your safety! You must do exactly the opposite: make sure you have two accounts admin fully tested all the time, even you have at least two keys to your home. Anything else is running a great risk - see here.

  • How can I change the account names?

    * Original title: change account names

    I got a new PC that connects to an Account of MS. I created one under a Gmail account. All is well until I leave it to the companies.

    I allow someone to use my computer for Skype me from this computer to the laptop I have with me at the time. They create a new Skype account and it works well.

    However, I just got back and it seems as if there is only one account, under the new MS Gmail Account they had to create, which is linked to the Skype they used then. My account name disappeared, and now all the files that I had my account when I left are under the account they created.

    How can I change their new Gmail MS account on the account which I have had without losing my files, keeping their active Skype account and keep my Skype account linked to my account?

    Thank you!

  • How can I change the account charged for a membership family Music?

    I recently entered store credit to my account, and I fear that my family membership Music will deduct my iTunes store credit. I'm not the family Organizer, but the management of the subscription appears in my account, and receipts show the composition charged for me. So, I came to believe that Apple is charging my account for the composition. Is there a way to change the account that is in charge of members? If I cancel the automatic renewal and then register as a member of the Music of the account of the organizer of the family, all my music libraries will remain intact?

    Step 2: If you are able to connect, and then create a new administrator account and other changes. Restart the computer in normal mode to see if you can connect.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
