	Hi Judy, You can easily check if you are an admin or not by following the below steps: From the Windows Desktop right-click on My Computer. Click Manage, which should open the Computer Management Window as shown below. Click the + next to Local Users and Groups or double-click it. Note: If you cannot access this section, you do not have administrator rights to the computer. Click Users and in the right pane you should see all user accounts setup on your computer. Double-click the account in which you are interested. Click the Member Of tab. If the user is a Member of "Administrators" that account has admin rights. You can also check it by following the below steps: Click on the Start button. Select Control Panel. Select User Accounts and Family Safety. Select User Accounts. On the right hand side of the User Accounts window will be listed your account name, account icon and a description. If the word "Administrator" is in your account's description, then you are an administrator. If the words "Standard user" are there, then you are not an administrator and will need to log in as a different user. I hope this helps. Regards, Lokesh. Add your comment Cancel
