    On a Win 7 64bit Home Premium OS, I "thought" I had admin privileges on my account as well as the Admin account.  I tried to uninstall a program and it told me I needed to be logged in with administrator privileges.  I when to User Accounts and tried to change to Administrator and when I choose Administrator, the Change Account Type button grays out.  I logged in as Admin and had the same issue.  I am the only person that has ever used this computer and when I created my account, I know I chose Administrator for the account type.  I tried to create another account and make it's account type administrator and it took it, but when i went and looked at the account, it didn't create it as administrator, it made it Standard.

    How can I make both my account and the Administrator account have an administrator type?

    Thank you fro your help.
