On my Computer I am the only user and adminstrator.
However when I attempt to open the Registry I am denied
access. A msg. appears: "Registry editing has been
disabled by your adminstrator."
Upon checking Documents and Settings I find the following
entries, which I am unable to use or delete.
Administrator and Administrator 2
My data is available under yet another file, namely "Hp
Authorized Custom". I am told there is a way to delete
the built-in administrator and hopefully gain control
again?
