Run Vista as Admin

[Tom Sawyer]

Hi, I have Windows Vista, and I,m the only user of the PC, but I don't know how to run it as an admin, can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You have to hack the administrative account, it's a fairly difficult process if you don't know what your doing, i'll see if i can find that website

ITs not recommended to hack the administrative account. It could screw up alot of things in the registry.

Ok, I'll stay a USER, and by the way, great vid Cedric!

Argh just turn off User Account Control if you have it on?


edit: disable all warnings and notifications, and bingo.

You CAN be administrator of Programs. Just right click on the exe file (e.g: Haulin.exe) and Run As Administrator but i'm sure you already knew that.

Go into the administrator account, and check in control panel to see if you can add all administrator priviliges to your user account. I did it to mine, I forgot how though exactly. It shouldn't be hard, just google it.

I had admin problems with Windows 7 (Vista based) but I had other problems so I re-installed the operating system now it works fine...

ok to run a program as administator:
right click on the icon>properties>compatibility tab
Look to the bottom of that and you will see a check box and beside it will say "run this program as an administrator"
I recommend running these games windows xp sp2 mode too.
Next, if you want to turn off UAC
Go Start>search for uac>click it and you will see the options and then select the appropriate option to turn it off. I would tell you but win 7 has a little difference in user interface compared with vista, but those instructions should work, nothing hard.
Or just do a quick google, "how to turn off uac on windows vista.
Hope this helped.
