Go to Control Panel, users and passwords, advanced and the click the other advanced button under Advanced User Management.
In the left hand pane of the next screen, right click Users, New User. Enter the users details and click Create, close.
Double click Users in the left hand pane and you will see the user you have just created in the right hand pane. Double click it, member off, add, administrator, OK.
You have just created a user with admin rights on the local machine.
Good luck

First you must sign on as the administrator.

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Admin Tools/Computer Managment

Select Local Users & Groups/Users


Find your user and double click on the name

Select "Memeber of" tab and then the add button.

Add them as an admin

Another way to get there is to right click on My Computer/Manage/Local Users + Groups/Groups/Double click on Administrators/Click on the Add... button and add users to the group.
