Windows Vista Home Basic does not have the local groups pane. How how can I tell what groups my user account is a member of?

I need to know so I can build an unattended installation, what group(s) should my first Admin user belong to?

net user username should show group membership of a user account.

net localgroup should show what local groups exist on the machine.

There is a local group named Administrators on every Windows installation. If you want to make someone an administrator, add them to that.
