Also when i have a program open such as media player, and i want to change a file type in the music folder for example it won't let me because it says i need administrator status, however i already am on the administator account. I am confused , help is much appreciated |

| | Re: Administator rights On the administrator desktop, applications run as standard users, this is for security problems as it prevents an exploit in an application potentially giving an attacker full access to the system. To run specific applications as administrators you'll need to right-click and click Run as administrator. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.
