How to get full administrator control in Win 2K?

[Biggs]

As above.

 

[TomBilliodeaux]

Log in as administrator.

Erm, I have only one profile and it is an Administrator account. Problem is, some programs can't be executed because they give me the error message I don't have full control or something.

Try to make another user profile and give administrator rights

If you are logged in as admin and don't have control of something then you're in trouble. Try the hint above as creating another user and giving rights. But if that doesn't work you might want to re-install...

another thing you might want to know is that sometimes a bad program holds a resource (could be a file or something else) and doesn't want to let it go. In that case, if you want to access that resource (with admin privilige), NT will give you the same error. So you can try reboot or uninstall the suspected program or whatever to get the control back. In most cases when this happens, it's the program to blame instead of OS (although the OS can be a little more robust).
