MY home pc has been configured as a workgroup instead of a pc in the House. How can I change this using xp home edition?

My brother did a clean reinstall of my xp home edition and it is configured as a workgroup instead of a personal computer at home. I need to change that. What I have to reinstall XP Home Edition or can it be done with the repair on my xp home disk option?  Create problems that I have my user account and the user account from my children.  All I want is to have this setup of working group last. Help, please

I don't think he did his PC a "domain". This would require a server operating system and the domain controller.

I don't see any problem with your configuration. 'Administrators' are a group of users, not a user. 'Administrator' is a user who belongs to this group 'Administrators' and therefore share the same privileges. There is no user named "admin" unless you create.

If I understand correctly, you can connect to the administrator account. So, you don't miss any privileges or access to the computer. If you want to use a different account for yourself you can create and use that one.

I ask for your specific problem. You don't tell him, at least no that looks like a problem. You seem to be confused about the installation, but I see nothing non-standard in your description apart because the administrator account is usually "hidden" after installation.

You mention an internet problem. This has nothing to do with the configuration of your account or the "working group". And what is the problem with having backup privileges? I don't understand your remark on your child's account. Sounds more like you're talking about an account on a site, with Xbox, or almost, but not with local accounts. A local account didn't need "activation".

I think you should talk to your brother in case you have problems. It seems to be knowledgeable enough to fix everything for you.
