    We have Vista on the new machine. Can I change which user account is designated as administrator?

    Yes, Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Manage Accounts and then Change Account type. There are basicly three types, Admin, Standard User and Guest.

    How bizarre!!! The "Change Account Type" option doesn't show up unless I have it in "Classic View."

    That's where I was looking. :)

    Thanks for your help!
