Hi Bruce,

You can read about UAC here:

User Account Control (UAC)


Running in the built-in Administrator account will give you full control, but it will also give full control to every program on your computer. Good or Bad. You might consider this instead:

User Account Control (UAC) - Elevate Privilege Level
