A Vista question for someone out there.

I have a laptop with Vista Premium. I normally run administrator. Then I got the idea to create a standard user acount for safer surfing.

How to I transfer the administrator programs over to the standard user. I tried to change the standard account to administrator temporarily, but it changed back itself to standard.

You think this is bad, wait until you get so frustrated you try to format your hard drive and reinstall Windows XP.

Create a new administrator account. Use that for updates, software installations, etc. Then change your old administrator account, the one with all your docs, email settings, internet access, and stuff, into a standard account.
