Here’s a quick and easy way to see how you’re logged in.

  1. Right click the Start Orb.
  2. look near the bottom of the dialog box and you will see Open or Open All Users.
  3. If you see Open All Users, that means you’re logged in under the Administrator account.
  4. If you just see Open, you’re signed in under your limited account.
