Ok do this exactly... you need to make sure your sister is on her own account coz she obviously has an admin. account to be able to limit yours... when shes on the computer make up some sort of distraction like shes gotta a phone call or someone is calling her somewhere... whatever buys you time over 30 seconds coz thats all you need... when she leaves the computer with her account on go to start... then control panel... it will open up a window... look for user accounts... then you will see your account name and see that its limited... quickly open it and look for the option " Change the account type"... click on computer administrator and you are done... if you wanna piss off your sister then i suggest you pick a password for your account and then change her account to a limited one so she can never edit your admin. account unless she somehow was on the computer when you are logged in which now you know is better to make sure that you always log off when you leave the computer or go to the switch user screen (other option available when you choose to log off from start) so that she cant do the same thing your probably going to do to her now.. cheers... good luck...

Did she do that for fun ?
I think more like shes not keen on you installing software on the computer. ask her.
