    How to change the default admin account for launching the apps


    HiWhile I was resolving some problem on my computer today, I created an additional admin local account.Now when I want to launch a program that requires the authorization from the administrative account, I have to choose between 2 of my admin accounts. The problem is that my newly created admin account is now the first/default one suggested for me to use, while I got used to using my old admin account. I would be happy to share a screenshot here, but Windows discreetly doesn't allow to take screenshots from the password entry dialogue.Can anybody advise on how to change the order, so I c

    Mail app only working when signed in under Admin account


    Upgraded from Windows 7 about two months ago, but this just started a few days ago.
    Tried to read my email and found that I could not use the mail app when signed in under my User account. (previously worked fine.)
    If I sign in under my Admin account, the mail app works normally.
    I've tried deleting and reinstalling the mail/calendar app, and now I don't even have the icons to launch them- not even listed on the start menu, except when using the Admin account.
    Is there another way to launch or repair the app?
    Any suggested fixes?
    Don't want to keep having to sign in as Admin just to read my email.
    Thanks!

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?
