Long Zheng, thank you for the helpful information. All though it was what i thought i was seeking, it didn’t help me, as its for something else. ANYWAYS. i have a hp pavilion dv6000 laptop, i bought from sam’s club. When i purchased it, they were all out of stock on the shelf, and were not going to get new ones, because its an older model. So, negotiating, i bought the display. It appeared to be in mint condition, got all the manuals, original box, manuals, etc etc, with it for $750. Bargain i thought. Well, there seems to be an administrator account on this computer, that i cant get to. It isn’t on the login screen, so i don’t know how to access it. To my problem, the administrator account, has access to certain things blocked, hence the screen saver, the background, and among a few others i believe. Do you know ANY way i can enable these things, or delete that administrator account? I have called Sam’s Club, and basically they told me, unless defective in a major way, blah blah, it wasn’t there problem basically. Please help, it would be appreciated, and a donation to this site or a recommended one through Paypal, assuming your magical trick will work!

Sincerely,
Brandon

@Andrew: I could have searched for it, but people might call that ‘cheating’ to achieve a fast time. I mean if doing it the ‘long-way’ doesn’t take over 30 seconds, then it must be really easy.

Even quicker: when you open Control Panel, just type “UAC”. The focus is in the Control Panel search box already.
The search result will bring up a link that takes you directly to the page in User Accounts where you can turn off the UAC prompts.

Typing other stuff like “prompt”, or “turn off UAC” or similar keywords will bring up the same link.
