Create a second administrator account
Having followed the advice to use an ordinary user account for day-to-day use rather than an Administrator account, I have encountered problems when the only Administrator account on the computer became corrupted.
Without this account, it is impossible to fix some problems. I have since made sure there are always two Administrator accounts on the computer.
For Windows Vista, left-click on the Start button and then on Control Panel. Left-click on the User Accounts and Family Safety title, and then on Add or Remove user accounts. You may need to click on Continue in User Account Control.
Click Create a new account, enter a name for the account and make sure the
Administrator option is selected. Click on Create account and add a password to
stop people using it without permission.
