How to enable Network ID in Windows XP

3

My Windows XP won't let me change the workgroup name; the network ID wizard is disabled as is the 'change' button under network ID. How I can enable it?

Best bet is that you are not logged in as a user with administrative rights.

That makes we wonder, I don't ever recall anyone accidentally booting into a standard user in a workgroup. . . – surfasb – 2011-08-05T06:46:34.550

I login with a administrator user – asker – 2011-08-07T15:14:56.627

Can you verify that your user is part of the Administrators group? – bbatman – 2011-09-04T15:09:40.310

It doesn't sound that your user is part of the Administrators group.

HOW TO VERIFY IF YOU ARE AN ADMIN ON THE PC:
Log on to windows
Right click on your start menu
If you see "Open all users or Explor all users" means you have admin rights.
