Hi, I share my desktop with my two roommate boys, and so there's CLEARLY a reason for an admin account! So I have the Admin, and they just share a simple user whenever they want. I have Windows 7, and everything works fine. I got tired of running back and forth to type in my password and approve what they wanted to install. So, if I make them a Administator, too (Have a second admin account) Will they be able to install, uninstall, security changes, etc? I want them to be able to approve these things without me running around like a chicken with my head cut off! Thanks!

Yes, ofcourse after making them administrator they can do everything; but they now have full access permissions so they can even delete your account!!! To give them administrative access- Right-click My Computer > Manage. From left pane, double-click Local Users and Groups to expand it. Select the Groups section. In the right pane, double-click Administrators to open the Properties. Click Add button. Type the user account name for the simple user account they have. Click the OK button. The next time they logon from their user account, it will be upgraded with administrative access.
