microsoft hid the admin rights feature.

Start the computer and hit F8 until you see the boot menu options screen.
Now select Safe Mode with Networking.
Log into your normal account (that has administrator rights) and run the CMD.exe program.
At the command prompt type net user administrator /active
Finally Log out or restart your computer (so you are not is safe mode) and now you should be able to log in as Administrator.

To turn off administrator simply follow the exact same steps except this time at the command prompt type net user administrator /active:no

you cannot remove msie 7 from vista

Firefox is a much better browser than IE IMO.
