I created an admin account in windows 7. Did the "Special Accounts" registry edit to hide the admin account. Changed the current logged in user to a standard account and restarted the computer. The admin account is hidden but now I cannot use UAC to run things in elevated mode (run as admin). When I try it says I should type an admin password but since the admin account is hidden, there is no option to type a password and the yes button is greyed out. The built-in Administrator account is hidden as well (even in safe mode).
I just wanted to have an admin account to elevate from (without touching the default one) within a standard account as needed. Can someone help please? I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have no accessible admin account. The only accessible account I have is a regular user account.
