Admin rights

[mrcepan990]

Hello,

I have two Windows 7 computers connected to the netwrork (both in the same workgroup) and I'd like to become an admin of the second one. How do I do that? Tried to add myself to Administrators group but didn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help.

what are you trying to accomplish?

which version of Windows7 are you using?

 

[mrcepan990]

It's Win7 Pro on both machines. I'm trying to get full access on the second PC, sharing files works fine for now, but Remote Desktop Connection fails same as accessing C drive which is not shared by typing \\XXX-PC\C$ in address bar.

did you enable Remote Desktop on the computer you want to access?

did you try to temporarily disable the firewall before you entered\\XXX-PC\C$ in address bar?

Yes, RD is enabled and I actually got it working by turning off security policy not allowing connections with no password. However, accessing C drive still doesn't work even without firewall switched on. I can always share that drive, but I wanted to do it in more 'elegant' way.
