I cannot access certain files, nor can I save data to
certain files as I am not the "administrator" for the
computer. Can you tell me how to change these settings?
 
You need to log out and Login in as Administrator,

Go to Start Menu, Run type lusrmgr.msc, click on Groups on the left side,
double click on Administators, click on Add button, type in your User name
and hit OK button

Thanks

This only works on XP Pro. XP HE does not have the GPE
option in it. You have to go into the safe mode by tapping
f8 on startup and then adding an administrative account in
the control panel\user accounts . You will name this
account what you want and give it a password of your
choice and then it will be displayed as one of the logon
accounts at bootup. Keep smiling.
