Administrator Rights
      #390088 - Tue Apr 01 2008 04:38 PM

Another Vista related issue...!!

Occasionally, when I'm trying to move files/folders etc. I get a message that says I need Administrator rights to perform this task etc... yet I am set up as administrator. (In fact I'm the only user set up on the PC.) I also get this problem with Spybot S&D - when trying to change some settings it says I can't because I'm not the administrator!
Any ideas?

You need to right click and run as administrator.

Great... thanks for the advice.
It took me a while to work out what to right click on, but I now know.
For anyone else reading this -
Right-click the Spybot - Search&Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
Choose Run as administrator from the context menu.

Thanks Again
