When I boot up the PC and get asked for the password I set I just see icon with my name wayne. When I check user accounts theres only one account and that says Wayne Adminstrator Password protected.

So I assume from that when I try to make the changes I should be choosing Wayne-PC\Adminstrators? I will have another go at it now

Thanks for your help

I am still geting stuck. It won't allow me to apply full control.

Would you mind look at a couple for Word docs I have done with screenshots?
Maybe then you spot where I am going wrong.

It seems to me that your check boxes for changing permissions are missing. And, did you click Owner to get the Advanced-tab result you show. You should click owner to take ownership.

By Default the only user is yes, Admin, but also a standard user.
If you want full admin all the time... several ways to do this...
I simply use "switch user" and login as "ADMIN" not me.. and everything is different...

Step 2. start -> cmd (run as admin) -> type takeown /?
That is the easy way if you know DOS...

If that does not work: Try this:

1) Click START
2) Type: cmd
3) Right click cmd, click Run As Administrator
4) Type: net user administrator /active:yes
5) Press enter

Was what worked for me. After all that though my USB phone still does not work lol. It seems the workaround to get it working under Vista maybe wrong. The article I read said you install the win200/XP drivers for the USB phone in Vista. Then you had to copy the usbaudio.sys file from an xp machine with USB phone drivers installed to the Vista machine. Well I have now done that and my usb phone is till not working under Vista. Still via people like yourselves it has taught me some new things.
