When i go advanced and the lusmgr pops up it says i cant use it because i use Vista Home premium. So what do i do? Or can i even do this with my version? Cause i need to delete some items that need admin say so. But when i click yes or continue it wont let me delete them, it always says i need permission.

Nice one i’m hoping this will allow me to finally regain access to the desktop background after getting hit by a nasty malware.

I suppose that you’d prompted by the Vista Consent UI (unless the UAC is disabled), and so you should able to save the settings made.

But I’m not sure is there difference if the Vista PC being part of the domain where group policy controls this. i.e. the local administrator can’t overwrite the setting unless domain controller credential is used.

To be comfirmed, type gpedit.msc at the Vista Start Search text box to bring up Local Group Policy editor.

Then browse to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.

Now, on the right-pane of editor window, the top most option is “Accounts: Administrator account status”, where you could set the real administrator account of Windows Vista to be enabled or disabled.

A non-domain Window Vista PC should only has Policy and Security Settings in the Local Group Policy editor. If there is an additional column (that say something related to domain), then you might notice the differences.

Please comment.
