There has to be a least one account that is an administrator account. If
you are the only user of the computer, and yours is the only account, then,
you should have admin. rights. However, if there are more than one
accounts, and yours is designated a 'limited' account, you then, do not have
admin. rights, and only those with admin. rights may assign those rights to
other user accounts.

Goto www.dougknox.com and click on Win XP Fixes and

choose the 'Run As Dialog Opens When Double Clicking a
Shortcut" option, download the zip file and run it. Some
of his files are .vbs files which antivirus software will
flag as a virus file (they are not actual viruses)so you
may want to disable your antivirus software when
executing his files. Doug Knox writes articles on
Microsoft's website and is referred by Microsoft on MS'
website so you can pretty well trust his files.
 
Troll,
Like, I'M not a landshark! Really. I'm a Dophin.
Open up and let me in, pretty, pretty, please.

I have an "Administrator" on my PC, and have the same problem. Glad you mentioned it! Now I will try to fix mine too. My PC was purchased from a guy who builds computers. I questioned why the software was licensed to the Administrator and was told it was easier than filling out the info request forms. Turns out the guy is a crook, who cannot be located. Everyone, please beware. Some of people who build PC's are crooks. Be sure that they register everything to you, the owner.
