Vista Tutorial - Wants administrator for everything..

**speedracer** · 10-01-2008

Over the last few days anytime I want to install a program it says I must be admin so I have to use the administrator in the drop down box. When I went to move a couple of files from one folder to another it said I didn't have permissions to 'try again' which I did several times and it would NOT let me move them. WHen I clicked on the file there was not adminin selection to check to allow me to move the file. Before this time I NEVER had this problem and could move and install as I desired. I don't remember changing ANY settings. I am currently running the elevated administrator so the UAC doesn't bother me every 2 seconds. Again, this has been set ON before this problem. WHat settings can I change to allow me to regain control of my computer? All help is appreciated..

Hello Speedracer,

You might see if using the built-in Administrator account will allow you to do this without any problems.

Administrator Account

Hope this helps,
