Read up on UAC - Administrator privileges are not "automatic" as in XP.
Initially all users log on Vista as "standard users" - when you get the
message regarding permission to continue - Vista is recognizing you as an
Administrator. If you were not so - Vista would require an ID/Password
before permitting "run as elevated" (Admin).
UAC can be disabled (not recommended) or modified regarding the consent or
confirmation.
