Thread: Simple things you can't do

It seems like it should be simple, but I can't make my user account on Windows 7 an administrator and it make me so mad I want to throw stuff because it is a huge ordeal to install programs or modify anything. I don't want to have to set up my settings again with a new admin account, I want to keep my user profile and make it an admin is it really that hard?

even as an administrator in windows 7 you don't have access to 90% of the settings / files
