Rumor has it that there’s a way to gain admin rights on a computer by flipping a 0 to a 1 or something in the registry. Anybody know anything about this or does it vary from system to system? ---

You could just use a boot cd that allows you to change an account to a local admin… These practices are usually frowned upon in enterprise environments… ---

HUGE. somewhere around 14,000 employees I believe. My access is limited to the northeast division though. We are all on different systems.
