Guest Phisherman Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I want to allocate more disk space for checkpoints. I do not want any existing checkpoints deleted. I do not have Administrative privileges. Microsoft Help says the first step is to open "System Properties." How can I open System Properties?

You need to have administrative privileges to allocate more disk space. You can open System Properties by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties.

Did you password protect the built-in Administrator account?

It's my guess malicious software or other corrupt issue has changed it. I dread the thought of a clean install.

I've never tried it but according to some sites, you can reset the password during a repair install by pressing Shift+F10 when the Installing Devices progress bar is displayed after the first reboot, then typing nusrmgr.cpl (or control userpasswords2) to get access to User Accounts.
