Thanks, however I will have to slowly absorb them.
I do not "logon" and have not did anything to become an "administrator."

Still confused for "Access denied, see your administrator" message.

A little simple explanation...

You 'do not logon' because someone set up the computer like that. You are
the 'only visible account' OR it has been setup to automatically log you in.

Click on the "Start" button (round ball - bottom left) and then click on the
arrow pointing right next to the words "Shut down" to find the "Log Off"
selection and click on it. That should log you off - so yes - you log on -
you just didn't know you did.

Windows has been - for a long time - a multi-user operating system - no
matter how many actual physical users there are. Just the way it is.

All you need to do in order to accomplish your original problem is to run
the command prompt application as Administrator (right-click, run as
administrator) and then use that command prompt. You may need to know the
administrator username/password - but you may not. All depends on the
edition of Windows 7 and how it was setup.

It may be beyond you now - but you should use Google and just search for the
stuff you have been told to do...

I set the computer up, and all I do is hit the power button (netbook) and
Win7 starts.
To close down I select the start button and "shutdown"
No passwords are involved.
(I use the "classic" view so my "round ball" is the old "start button"
:-)
Fact is I have never used "log off" since 1995 through all Windows OS.

Looks like I will have to read some more, as I have never appointed an
"Administrator" or used a password.
(exept for my WiFi Router access to my LAN)

It's the password YOU set when you installed Windows 7. If you didn't set
any, there's no PW.
