2. Log into the new extra Administrator account. Go to Control Panel>User
Accounts. Change your personal account to Standard. Your data will not be
affected.


Hmmm. I just changed the type of my account from Admin to Standard without
having to create another Admin account first....

There is (was) a reason that you should not have done so.
That reason being so that you wouldn't be left up proverbial
creek without proverbial paddle.

Good luck with that boat, and follow directions next time.
