Unable to run command from prompt

Hi,

I'm trying to run the command vssadmin list shadowstorage but I'm unable
to. I'm asked to run the utility from a command window with elevated
administrator privileges I'm the only user on the PC and I'm an
administrator. Using Vista Ultimate 32bit. Does anyone know what I need to
do to get elevated privileges?

Cheers

Rob
