| Guest | Re: administrater or not Hi Valentin One thing you need to understand about Vista is that things have changed. A normal administrator account is like a dual purpose account. Normally, it will run as a Standard User account. When it detects that you do need administrator privileges, a UAC prompt will appear and ask you for permission to elevate the function to administrator privileges. You can either OK this request or deny it. If you start a program or application that needs administrator privileges, but it does not request elevation, you can simply right click the program and select the Run As Administrator option from the menu. A program that does not ask for permission is probably one that was not designed for Vista. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "valentin" <valentin@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6C3FF3F8-4D10-41EA-9917-C3F3673727A2@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: administrater or not This seems to be a common problem and I hope you find the following solution useful. Step 1: Backup Backup all your data, with Vista this is beautifully easy to do Step 2: Turn user account control off Start Control Panel User accounts Add or remove accounts (you will be asked for permission, click on Continue) Go to the main user accounts page (you will find this at the bottom of the screen) Turn user account control on or off (you will asked for permission again, click on Continue) Uncheck the bok OK Restart Step 3: Make your changes Step 4: Reinstate user account control permission (if you want to) Follow the procedure in step 2 but this time you will not be asked for permission. I hope this works for you as it did for me. It may or may not be the approved method and it took me some time to work it out - but it did work.
