    Windows 7 Unable to Install Programs Due to Admin Permissions Issue on Build 7048

    Running build 7048. When I try to install, for example, Firefox, Windows displays that I don't have admin's permissions and asks to type admin password. But I'm the only user on my computer. I've heard there was a tweak solving this problem. Can you help me?
