Re: Setting up administrator rights for vista

Follow the Steps for setting up the Full Administartor Rights:
  1. For Windows Vista Ultimate /Business/ Enterprise versions :
    • Click on Windows Vista Start, and in the search area type in “secpol.msc” and click Enter. (You may receive a prompt from UAC,(User Account Control) approve/login and proceed).
    • In the left list, choose “Local Policies“ and than “Security Options“.
    • Set “Accounts: Administrator account status” to Enabled.
    • Set “User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account” to Disabled.


  2. For Windows Vista Home Basic / Home Premium versions:

    • Click on Windows Vista Start, and type in “cmd” in the search area, right click on “Command Prompt” and select ‘Run as Administrator” option from the opened context menu.
    • In the opened elevated command prompt type in “net users Administrator /active:yes” (Note the capital “A” in Administrator) and press Enter, you will get a confirmation as “The command completed successfully”.
    • Click on Windows Vista Start again, and type in “regedit” in the search area and click Enter to open the Windows Vista registry editor.Then navigate to the following Windows Vista registry key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    • Double click on “FilterAdministratorToken” and set it to “0“

If you want to add or remove you can do it with the reg files which is in zip format.
