How Do I Remove Admin Account Restrictions

It's up to you, but I think sharing that information would be more detrimental to other users than beneficial.

PS, watch you language.. we run a provisional forum here.

Agree fully with everything you have posted
If the OP wants it to act like XP why install or buy laptop with it on.
As for no security hope he never gets a virus or Malware and not realise it and spread it to other peoples laptops/computers;
Because no matter how careful you are one could always get through.
Myself I would rather be safe than sorry.
I have spent many an hour helping friends who have not heeded my warning when they have done or alter something then crashed their system and asked me to help.
Then told me I was right all along

For instance, I would like to have a "simple" home network so I can get out of my desktop chair and move to my easy chair with my laptop and be able to access my desktop computer. Windows makes that so complicated with "credentials" "network names" with no explanation of what they are! I just want to access my two computers from each other without making access security like I'm on a CIA network or something!! Why make it such a pain in the butt!!

Dave,

The 'network name' is something that is created by your router. Other than recognising it as the thing you connect each of them to, you'll never need to do anything about it.

About 'network credentials'

On each computer, create a password-protected local Admin account using exactly the same username & password on each one.

When you are asked for network credentials, give that username & password and set the dialog's checkbox for remembering the credentials.

You'll never be bothered by that dialog again.

This does not constrain which user account you log in with. Your network will work for all your user accounts. That password-protected local Admin account is just used to set things up.
- Do write the password down somewhere secure yet accessible because you won't use it so you'll forget it.
