Can anyone tell me how to turn on my administrator rights, so I can then access my script hosting?

When I try to run a script (.vbs), it tells me I have no admin rights.

I have had to do this B4, but I can't remember how I did it.

Thank you one and all. :confused:

A lot of missing info... most importantly what Windows operating system are you talking about?

Generally though, you don't "turn on" Administrator rights, the login you are using is either an adminsitrator account or a limited user account. When you login to any administrator account, you can create accounts, change limited accounts to administrator accounts.

Go to CONTROL PANEL > USER ACCOUNTS and see what type of account your current account is, limited or administrator.

He is running Win XP Pro / SP2. It is not my machine, but a friends. I have checked with user and he is the administrator on the system.

Check the registry:

1. START > RUN > regedit
2. Find the following key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings
3. Create any of the values below to enable the options:
   
   • Enable (REG_DWORD)
     
     • "0" - disabled
     • "1" - enabled
   • Remote (REG_DWORD)
     
     • "0" - disable remote scripts
     • "1" - allow remote scripts
   • DisplayLogo (REG_SZ)
     
     • "0" - no logo
     • "1" - display logo
4. Restart Windows for the changes to take effect

One last thing, does the administrator account ACTUALLY have a password, a real one, not just a blank one that gets skipped during login? Many security features in Windows require real passwords during login to function properly.

He has a Blank one. But, I did as you said and everything OK now. Thanks everyone...
