Symptom:

When you click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts to create a new user account, both the Standard and Limited account types may be unavailable (shaded). Only the Computer administrator option is available on the Pick an account type dialog box.

Cause:

This behavior can occur if you are logged on to the computer using the Administrator account and no other account exists in the Administrators group.

Resolution:

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

  • Create a "Computer administrator" account, and then create either a Standard or Limited user account.

  • In Computer Management, use the Local Users and Groups section to create the user accounts.

Status:

This behavior is by design.
