Have you run into this message when you try to delete some things? I have a program that I can download and translate youtube videos into MP3 and haven't used it in a while but recently updated and it is working again, and there are some originally formatted versions of those videos that when I try to delete it says that I need admin rights to do so and I don't have permission to delete from the folder that they are located in. I even tried creating another folder for this and still no luck.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] administrative rights?

Yes, this also works for me when I get errors about administrative rights on people's computers. It doesn't make sense to me since the user has admin rights. An example this week was Firefox wouldn't let me install an older version. It gave an option to open the file as admin, but wanted a password that does not exist. I closed Firefox, right clicked on the Firefox icon, and chose run as administrator. Then it worked. Of course a keyboard user would use the application key to get the shortcut menu to pop up when you are on the icon.

Hi Jeff,

You don’t give any example of what you were attempting to do, so this is rather a generic reply.

You may find that in some cases, if you right click on the icon for the program you wish to run, the context menu will have an option to “Run as administrator”.

Strange as it may seem, this usually does the trick.

Subject: [VICUG-L] administrative rights?

HI all, I am the only user of my laptop and it has been so since I first got it in 2008. However, there are times that I have tried to do something and I am denied the ability to do it. The reason is that I get this message saying that I need to be logged in as an administrator. I never have made any settings for a password or anything like that. I am currently using Vista. Any help would be great, and thanks in advance.
