    Taking complete control (permissions) of my computer


    I have tried many different tutorials from the tutorial page here on this site, but much of it is confusing to say the least. I am the only user on this Dell 9010 refurbed computer running windows 10 Pro. Why is my name not shown on the navigation pane under Local Disk (C)/Users? (screen capture) I have a MS account with my name (Joseph Simpson), but it appears nowhere that I can find on this computer. I have very little authority to do much to change things. I've downloaded several reg files from Brinks page, but none work. (Example reg file to remove Network & Homegroup in the navigation pane) of which neither works. It appears to me that I do not have permissions to change much of anything. On the navigation pane under users there are 3 listings-defaultuser0, Owner & Public; default & public both show empty folders. Owner has the 2nd screen.

    :)
