The computer administrator account gives you maximum control over the operating system. But at the same time, the OS is at maximum risk. This is especially true if the user who owns the administrator account is inexperienced and, by chance, can affect system processes. It also increases the potential for malware to negatively impact the operating system.
Necessary
Computer with Windows OS
Instructions
Step 1
If you are a regular PC user, and you do not need to delve deeply into system processes and fine-tune the operating system, then it is better to disable the computer administrator. This procedure will be discussed using the example of the operating system Windows 7. Click "Start" and open "Control Panel". From the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Accounts.
Step 2
In the window that appears, click on "Create an account". Then, in the window that opens, check "General access". Enter the name of your new account, then at the bottom of the window click on "Create an account." A new account will be created. It is she who will be used to log in to the system.
Step 3
Now open Control Panel again and select the Administrative Tools component. A window will appear. Find the "Computer Management" component in it and double-click on it with the left mouse button. Then select the Local Users and Groups option. After that, left-click on the "Users" line and find "Computer Administrator" in the list.
Step 4
Next, right-click on this account and select Properties from the context menu. Check the box next to the "Disable this account" line. Click "Apply" and OK. Now restart your computer, after which it will start with your new account.
