Resolved Changing "Guest" Account to "Standard" User

I did a new install of windows 7. I created a admin account, and a 'guest' account.

I have used the 'guest' account for a while, but I can't save documents. I want to change my Guest Account to a Standard User.

I created new "guest" Account, but can't change the original Guest to standard.

Windows will only let me change it to Administrator. Some of the settings I see on the internet I don't have.

What do I do?

Thank you,
Chris.

 

Hi Chris, Have you tried the procedure listed here?

You will have to read the full list and select what you want to do. Neil.

 

The Guest account, like Administrator account, is a special account in Windows. Don't mess around with it. Create a new account for yourself.

 

I don't have the options that it shows in the link.

The purpose is not to lose my setup I've had for a few months. It's not supposed to be this difficult, Windows makes it easy.

I had to create another account and lose all my stuff. Thank you for trying.

What stuff did you loose ? All the stuff is there, you just have to copy the files to your new user.
