[dba-Tech] Windows 7 Administrator

Arthur:

If you right-click on the installation program for the software (setup.exe or whatever it is called), you should see an option to "Run as administrator". Assuming your user is an administrator, and it should be if you are the only user, this should run with all the correct permissions. I've run into that a few times and this has always worked for me.

Hope it helps.

I'm trying to install a piece of software that demands that I have administrative rights. I am the only user on the computer. The list of users includes only "Arthur". Is the Administrator button hidden, and if so how can I reveal it, and if not, how do I get to my user permissions page so I can grant myself admin rights?

TIA,
Arthur
