If you have done nothing to change your classification from when the system
was installed, you likely ARE logged in as an administrator. The warning is just to let you be aware of the fact. It is not telling you that you ARE logged on as anything else. -- Regards, Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

Hi,
To access the default administrator account: In WinXP Pro, hit ctrl+alt+delete twice at the logon screen and type it in. In WinXP Home, you must restart and enter Safe mode by hitting F8 at startup. The administrator logon will be one of the options. For installing software, you should only have to use an account with administrator privileges in normal mode, not "the" administrator account in Safe mode. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "devster" wrote in message ...
