    How do I change my 9 year old son from administrator to standard user?


    Hi, my 9 year old son received his first laptop for Christmas and set himself up as an administrator. I have since realised that this allows him to override parental controls etc, so have added myself as an administrator. However, this does not give me the option to change his account back to a standard user. I can see other family members' accounts, and can see an option to change their account type, but that option is not there for my son. Is it because his was the first account to be set up on this laptop?How do I rectify this - delete his account? If so, will he lose data etc? Thanks

    :)
