how to run windows 7 as administrator? i installed windows 7

When I attempt to delete certain files or folders I am denied permission and prompted: "requires administrators permission". But I am the Administrator! And I am signed in as such. How do I fix this problem? Richard P.S. I will be installing a Solid-State Drive later today - OS & apps. -...

Below is an article written by Ed Bott: Link Removed Over the past couple years, I’ve been regularly checking in to measure whether Windows Vista is living up to its promise of being more secure than its predecessor, Windows XP. (To catch up with previous installments, see October...

Hi all, I did a search on this and I cannot find that the problem has been resolved, not in a way that works for me anyway. Issue: when I try to open C:\Documents & Settings I get "acess denied". This despite that my being logged in as admin. I mean, I installed Windows 7 RC1 on the machine...

I am trying to replace one file with another and it tells me that I need permission from admin which is me, I am using the admin account, and I have also turned off user account manager and it still tells me I need the right permission. I never had this issue on vista or xp (vista did do the...

I have been running build 7100 x86 for a while now. This morning it started announcing "access denied" to both my hard drives and all their partitions. I had not made any changes to settings of any kind recently nor installed any hardware or software recently. The only account on the PC is set...

I am trying to autostart a program with admin privileges using the task scheduler trick outlined here: Make Vista launch UAC restricted programs at startup with Task Scheduler | Microsoft Windows | TechRepublic.com But, I'm running into a problem. The program is Everything Search Engine. When...

1. My Alt-Tab and most other short cuts aren't working, is there something i can do? 2. Steam Compatibility. I use steam (Valve's game program), and my W7 forced it to run in compatibility mode, and my steam wouldn't open with the compatibility settings on. But when i checked if it had any...

Hi I have a problem running a new program, as a standard user. I dont really know, if the problem is Win7 og the program or just my lack of knowledge. I have win7 64bit up and running, and so far very content. I have created an administrator account, and a standard account. I want to run my...

First- Thank you in advance for any input you have, and sorry if this seems like a re-post, but I can't seem to find anyone who is having quite the same problem or a solution that seems to work. Basically it is denying me access to brand new files. EX I shot some texture photos today, applied...

I've just reinstalled Win 7 today but have still got this same problem whereby I can do almost everything else that requires Administrator privileges, except make changes to programs - it keeps just telling me I need to be an Administrator to uninstall a program, yet I'm the only person using...

Hi, i have 2 computers, my desktop running W7 build 7057, and my laptop running W7 build 7100. Both were working perfectly. My dad was using the laptop, trying to configure and old printer connected to another PC with windows XP, in the middle of that, he said he "left the Homegroup" and then...

So for certain programs, mostly games in my case, the UAC prompts me every time I try to run the game to tell it it's OK to run. For example if I want to play Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, I click my icon and bam, UAC comes up with the prompt, "Do you want to allow the following program...

I read in an earlier post that the bug/feature which killed your gadgets when UAC was off seemed to be fixed after a certain beta build number. Can anyone verify that this is fixed in the RC? It wouldn't bother me at all, except I have one game which will not run with UAC, so, it becomes a...

This one has me stumped. Something I did today caused what can I only assume to be programs that need to run as administrator to fail. Anything with that little shield next to it. Examples: Right clicking on My Computer > Manage wont open but typing manage then clicking on Computer Management...

After I installed Windows 7 noticed that Logitech Setpoint drivers doesn't allow me to bind all the keys on my G5 mouse in Warhammer Online (probably this issue will be the same for most games, world of warcraft etc). For few days I was trying to fix this. Here is the solution. 1 You can turn...
