Mermy notes:
Mermy didn't use the "/grant administrators:F" command on her vista machine to replace the notepad.exe files with the Notepad+ program. She used her machine name and sign-on name. EXAMPLE: For her, she used "/grant Merme_PC/Mermy:F" So one doesn't need to use the name 'adminstrators' but one does need to be signed onto an administrator account.
