I was prompted by my computer to change my account to a standard account.To better secure my computer so it never asks for administrative permission to any users.I did not know it was difficult to reverse. I am the owner but the owner now is listed trustedinstaller. I am being denied to everything. I have try winxsx and secpolmsc but can not regain administrative powers. CAN YOU HELP ME?

As far as I am concerned, it is reversible. Look HERE or HERE to fix the problem with Trustedinstaller.exe (it's a legitimate component of Windows module installer in Vista) that you somehow relinguished all your rights to it.
