Sorry all, I had class this morning...

He is just like I am/was when it comes to computers... mess around with stuff to see the results! He said he went in through safe mode, right clicked on the c: drive and clicked properties, then denied privileges to the user accounts...

He said when he went in, he didn't deny access to administrator, which says to me that the admin account is active, I just don't know how to access it.

@Cider: No UAC is still on but when I go to do something that requires administrator privileges it says access denied!

@nihil: My accounts work, I just can't access my c: drive or anything that has to do with it! (turns out that when the system files are on that drive, that is ALOT)

any ideas, or is it time to get the magic restore/re-install disc out?
