Hello Vinnie, Check to be sure that you are changing the Guest back to administrator first, then the other administrator back to guest. It will not let you change your administrator account (not built-in Administrator) type if it is the only one available. Hope this helps, Shawn vinnie;1093770 Wrote: I recently changed my Guest account to an administrator account and my other account(formerly admin) to standard account.
