I am not a vista user (Money problem)..so cant say exactly.
But I think you sud do this:
Create another user name of your choice, and give him full administrative power.

Reboot ur PC, select your new account to log in, and than delete ur old account.

Done

See..I have already told you.......I don't have vista experience (I don't have vista, because I don't have money to buy it)...But there will be no difference in two administrative account. Both should have same previalge and power.

But before deleting old account ..........make backup of "my documents",...of the old account.
