I have a computer that came frfom a business that has adminstrator on it. I
do not think I am the admistrator any more cause I can't even use my a: drive
now. DO I need this option when I just use my compter at my hosue and can I
just remove this administrator option all together frfom my computer . If I
need to keep it, how do I make myself the admisnistrator always...

Help....

In Administrative Tools, go to "Local Security Settings" --> "Security
Options" and change "Devices: Restrict floppy access to locally logged on
user only" to "Disabled".

To regain control of the Administrator account, you need to ask the business
you got the PC from to furnish you with the password.

Or, much better, he should reformat the drive and clean install Windows from
scratch. This should be standard practice whenever acquiring a used
computer.
He has no idea how the computer has been maintained, what has been installed
incorrectly, what is missing, what viruses and spyware there may be, etc. I
wouldn't want to live with somebody else's mistakes and problems, and I
wouldn't recommend that anyone else do either.
