Ok tech gurus I am still having problems with admin issue. I tried to disable the freaking thing by doing the following - only to get an "access denied" prompt on the black cmd screen - what the *(&(&)( is there a man in the machine or what - Spread the expertise - tell me how to rid myself of this annoyance.

Steps taken:
To disable the build-in Administrator account, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as .Administrator.
3. When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
4. At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:no, and then press ENTER.
6. Type exit, and then press ENTER.
7. Log off the current user account.

Please advise. Thanks !!!
