Using Vista or Windows 7?
Have you ever had an error message pop up that something "can only be run as Administrator" , but, wait a minute, aren't you the Administrator on this computer so it should run when you click it, but it doesn't.

There is a hidden but disabled Administrator Account that you can enable and do the job. Not a difficult job to enable it.

Enable the Hidden Admin Account.

Remember to disable it after you have done what you need to.

It is worth Bookmarking the link.

Don't go down this road unless you know what you are doing.
