As long as you have admin access and another user with admin priveleges you can delete the admin account through User Accounts in the Control Panel.

If you are a local administrator of the computer, you will be able to change rights on the files and folders. If you just reinstalled Windows, then the default user is an administrator. Right click on the file or folder, click on properties, then go to the security tab. From there, you can change the security.

It is next to Impossible to install or remove anything from a Administrator controlled computer but still there are ways to do it.you have to delete some registry keys and all that you can do is in safe mode with help of 3rd party software.

If you dont have admin rights on the machine, there is not much you can do.\n\nBut to re-enable CTRL + ATL + DEL:\n\nClick START>>RUN>>TYPE gpedit.msc>>Under 'User Configuration' go to ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES>>SYSTEM>>CTRL+ATL+DEL OPTIONS>>DOUBLE-CLICK 'Remove Task Manager'>>Select Disabled>>APPLY>>OK>>EXIT.

The only way is to make the computer completely secure is to make it a part of a domain. \nYour other choice is the create another username on the machine. Making sure it has access to everything you want to be able to use. After doing this, restart the computer and instead of entering a username/password click 'cancel' this is the default user, remove everything from the start menu WITHOUT uninstalling anything. This will deny direct access when you don't enter a password and click cancel. You can't do anything without knowing what you are doing. You can take this a step further and place a .bat file in the startup folder on this profile that reboots the machine if the password is not entered. You can also do several registry tweaks to remove the 'run' feature and others.

Are you logged in as the system administrator?\nTry that first. Even though you may have administrator rights.

Okay, I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP. Go to start -> Run -> Type in msconfig and hit okay-> then go to the boot.ini tab and hit the selection that says boot in safe mode. exit out and it will ask you to restart. on the reboot it will let u log on to a no password administrator account labeled Administrator, log onto it and got to Start -> Control panel -> Users/accounts or watever it is -> Select your account and hit delete and when it asks to back up your documents on someone elses user do it onto the Administrator account that you are on and then go to Create Account -> and Create an administrator account by the same name of the previously limited one. then copy your files over to your new administrator account. then go to Start -> Run and type in msconfigg and hit okay and do not go to any othe tabs, just the one it is already on and select Normal Start-up and then exit out and it will ask you to restart, say yes and let it boot up, then enjoy your new Administrator account

you can't really restrict access to this folder like that... not without making your own life harder..well you can but its abit indepth and if you get it wrong it will cause problem with the computer using the folder.. if you are using xp you could give him his own user account as a regular user, not administrator like your account would be... and as the administrator you could apply the content adviser so that most site of a certain type are blocked... he as a regular user will not be allowed to do certain stuff... like install programs and modify settings....\n\nI cant remember if user level restricts access to the temp folders in the sense to simply empty them.. \n\nBut to be honest if someone was on my computer doing something that i didnt want them to do.. i would make it that they just didnt use my computer... they could be opening you up to viruses.\n\ngood luck.\n\nps: perhaps its the facts that you dont find anything in the caches, especially when you haven't cleared it recently, is the proof that he's been doing something dodgy.\n\npps: if you dont mind making your own life narder then reduce your account down to a user lever and use the administrator account to do major stuff, instals etc... then he can't install stuff using your account.... and start the content advisor with a password that only you know.. this way when you use the computer you can turn the adviser off whilst he cant look as dodge stuff.

Your best bet is to reinstall your operating system, and then create an account for yourself to use when you want to use the computer that has limited permissions (User versus Administrator).  That way, you can more safely enjoy your computer without worrying about deleting anything that is necessary to the operations of your computer.  Of course, this won't stop you from deleting stuff you might want, like music files or whatever, but at least you won't screw up your operating system.  Good luck.

You have to have administrator rights to the computer. The owner of the computer is usually assigned administrator rights. They can log in and control the others profiles on the computer.\n\nProfiles can be added or deleted.\n\nIn XP just go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts\n\nThere you can make the necessary changes.

It sounds like you are trying to install a program that requires administrator level rights and you don't have them. This is common with Windows XP accounts that have restrictions set up for the other users.

You havnt got administrator rights.\n\nTry doing system restore to earlier date to save time.

You don't have administrative rights to your computer to install softwares and programs. \nContact your administrator.\n\nIf you are the admin, then there is some malware on your computer that has taken over these rights. In that case, you'll have to re-install your OS.
