Xp Home user accts.

[xeroid]

I have lost administrative rights for my logon. If i pullup user profiles in system properties my profile shows up.
If I pullup user accts. My account does not show. If I try to add it I get a message that the "user has permission to use computer" and cant be added.
If I try the safe mode my logon is not visible in user accts.
What I would like to do is have all users have administrative rights. Right now I have a Guest account that I have to use to perform administrative tasks. It creates confusion and problems. What happened to my original rights? and how can i change it back.?

That doesn't sound very good. Has any account got admin priviliges? I've never been in a situation where my admin account has had its rights taken away... For someone to do that requires admin rights (I believe). Or a way to access your pc and leave a rootkit. Have you been using a firewall adn anti-spyware?

Yes I have Norton Systemworks and firewall. It does seem that the problem started after my last upgrade. Is there a way to make all accts administrative?

I created a guest acct. and another account and gave them admin priviliges using safe mode.
