Administrative Box Greyed Out

Hello,
I recently been googling about how to enable run as Administrator in compability options, and It doesn't seem to be working for me. Maybe I am doing something wrong, or missing a step? I went into secpol.msc, and edited the Admin Approval mode, as directed in one of the forums and restarted. It appears to have done nothing really,
the box is still greyed out on all .exe files I check. If someone could help me go the right direciton it would be greatly appreciated, thank you

P.S. I am the only account and it is marked as "Admin".

Re: Administrative Box Greyed Out

- Updated; I followed the instrucitons on a previous thread
to run the command "net user administrator /active:yes" in RUN; I did this restarted, logged into administrator account, and even in there, the Administrative Box is Greyed out. Officially stumped over here.
