Go to "Desktop", right click on "My Computer", and then select "Manage". Expand "Local Users and Groups", select your user, right click on it and select "Properties". Now go to "Member Of" tab. Click "Add..." to add it to the "Administrators" group. Save the changes. Now repeat the same thing for your guest account and then remove it from the "Administrators" group.

For info: First Which OS you are using? XP or Vista? Boot in safe mode, press F8 in the start of boot, it will show one admin account at user login prompt , use that account to change the user type of account.

A standard user account lets a person use most of the capabilities of the computer, but permission from an administrator is required if you want to make changes that affect other users or the security of the computer.

When you use a standard account, you can use most programs that are installed on the computer, but you can't install or uninstall software and hardware, delete files that are required for the computer to work, or change settings on the computer that affect other users. If you're using a standard account, some programs might require you to provide an administrator password before you can perform certain tasks.
