RE: problem with the user account control panel

As with previous posts, again this is probably a local admin problem...
Technically no one is really a true administrator until all prompts and user
securitys are disabled in the security settings panel...
(start/run/secpol.msc/local policies/security options/scroll to bottom) and
then going into control panel and changing you account to an admistrator
manually. I initially thought i was an admin but your really only a local
admin by default. Go figure! Plus it gets rid of all those annoying pop up
warnings.
