February 13, 200917 yr Click on each of these:Control Panel/User Accounts & Family Safety/User Accounts/Turn User Account Control on or off.Then uncheck the box.I just tried this again and confirmed why I went back to the way it was when I did this before (through another pathway):I get an error message during start-up saying that some program has stopped working. Allright, no big deal.Then I open my paid version of the latest (and last) Eudora email client. It's reverted to adware mode and doesn't know who I am anymore. It wants me to set up an email account...I would suspect that other registered applications may have lost their licenses and their configurations too. Thus, in retrospect it seems that it would have been wise to ditch the user account BEFORE one starts setting up a new PC / registering programs. Why are these dependent on the user account being activated? When I activate the user account again and reboot the registered and configured apps are back where they were. If I could keep everything configured while getting rid of the user account (without doing it all over) I would certainly prefer to get rid of the annoying aspects of the user account.
