If you’re like most people, you use your computer for work and personal tasks. But there’s one person who shouldn’t be able to use your computer: the administrator. The administrator account is a special account that’s been set up by the manufacturer or the system administrator. It has all the privileges of a regular user account, plus some extra ones. If you don’t need an administrator account, you can disable it. Here’s how:
- Open the Start menu and search for “Administrator.” When Administrator appears in the results, right-click on it and select “Run as Administrator.” If this option isn’t available, your computer may not be configured to allow administrators to run programs as administrators.
- In the Administrator window that opens, click on “User Accounts.” This will open a list of all user accounts on your computer. Click on “Administrator” to highlight it and then click on “Disable.” This will open a confirmation window asking if you want to disable the account permanently or just for this session. Click on “Disable Account Permanently” to confirm your decision. ..
