Any information that can be used in the field by an engineer is gratefully accepted and if there are more than just the one way of doing things, then so much the better. Thank you to the author of this article for being so precise and for providing multiple approaches. Summoner2100, have you spent many years as a field engineer at all? I have and the number of times that one method cannot be used but another can has saved the day on more ocassions than I care to mention. All advice like this, especially when it works well, is sound advice. For those who couldn’t get it to work, I guess that you didn’t rund the .cmd as admin.Take it all onboard folks

Well son, if you were as wise as the good folks who wrote this article you would have realized that the local users and groups policy management tool isn’t available for Windows 7 home users. So the only way these users can change this setting is by using the smarty pants command-line method…

yo, hater2100 if you type fast then its faster the the GUI. he is just helping in his own way. you can do a lot with a GUI but sometimes all you need is a shell (oh and if you didn’t know what that means its another word for any OS based prompt).

summoner2100… too harsh. I found it easier to do with the command line. Knowing more than one way to do something is a good thing.

Smartness may only have a little to do with it. The Local Users and Groups MMC snap-in isn’t enabled on Home Premium. But the command line does work. I’ve verified both on my Home Premium box this morning.

summoner2100: Go get a warm glass of shut the fuck up and go troll somewhere else. The above instructions were accurate.

@ summoner:

This is all you need to type in command prompt (cmd.exe in Search):

net user administrator /active:yes

Net user administrator password

net user administrator /active:no

Three lines. I win.
