This is on a windows 10 pro system. 

2 users  A = administrator user  B= standard user  forget the Guest account.

using Control Panel >user accounts,  user A opens as administrator > manage another account  you get

A administrator

B Standard account

Guest

Using Control Panel > Administrator tools > Computer management > Local users and Groups >users > A  > member of > Administrator  Again

Using Control Panel > Administrator tools > Computer management > Local users and Groups >users > B  > member of > Standard user.

Using command prompt> netplwiz

A=Administrator

B=standard user

Now now now

Using command prompt> net user

Administrator  B    defaultaccount

Standard user A

How is this possible?  I wanted to use the   Net user   time    as this is a childs computer and Me ((A )) the Administrator is not the Administrator ?? according to Net User..

Is it possible to change the 

Administrator  B defaultaccount    to   A

If you just type "net user" it should just return a list of the users.  It won't show anything regarding the groups those users are members of.

DefaultAccount is a user not a group.  There should also be a user named Administrator but again this is a user not a group.

Hi ,

As john.b_ said, When you use net user without parameters, it displays a list of the user accounts on the computer. You can also type net users. It does not mean anything else. To display information about the user account administrator, you could try "net user administrator".
For example:

Here is a link about Net user command for your reference.

Thank You for reply

in 3 area's the system says  A  is the administrator and B is the Standard user

in Net user

when you type in ""  net user B   ""  message =    user cant be found 

the computer in question was set up by me at pressent for our grandson that lives with us.

my wife has just come out of hospital so the slow reply will get screen shots  and get back to this soon and thanks for replying

What happens when you type net user using your 'A' user's account name?
