unable to delete when logged in as admin.

Hello all -

I am getting a message when trying to do anything like Delete a file on the desktop to install or uninstall applications. the message is : You are logged on with a non-Administrative privileges. However the account is setup to be a local admin and I was able to confirm that in Computer management. I have heard of a Registry key that could fix this but I don't remember what the key was anyone know?
