Hi,

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition. I accidentally change
my user name's ''computer administrator privilages''
to ''limited account privilages''. Also, there are not any
other account that has the administrator privilages on my
computer. Now, I could not make changes to any settings,
also could not install or remove anything because of the
limited privileges.

How can I give again ''administrator privilages'' to my
computer? Is there any way doing this in current situation
(with a user name that has only limited privilages)?

Arzu;
Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel.
Select a user(s) and change to Administrator.
