If you are able to change to the administrators home directory (typically
c:\documents & settings\administrator), then you are probably a member of
the administrators group.
Of course this will only work assuming that the filesystem is formatted with
NTFS and default permissions are in place.

Subject: Windows Administrator access
After gaining shell access to a Windows box, is there any way to show
administrator privilege without changing the config or uploading new
files?
I have to demo the ability to gain administrator access to a Win 2000
box, the catch is no changes on the box so adding a user or loading
whoami.exe from resource kit would not be options. Any suggestion here
would be appreciated.
Thanks
