How can I get myself set as Administrator ?

Hello,

In Windows Vista, even though you are an administrator, programs that do not
need administrative power don't receive such power. If a program wants to
use administrator power, it must either request it from you, or you must
explicitly give it such power by right-clicking it and clicking run as
administrator.

This gives you the following benefits:

- No program can run with administrative power without you knowing about it
- No program can sneakily start a trusted system or administrative program
and abuse it without you knowing about it
- Programs that don't need a lot of power over your computer, don't receive
it (such as internet explorer and its new protected mode)
