Gaining control in w-7

change anything. It's grayed out. I don't even feel like I own the W-7
computer.

Please, anyone... how do I stop this 'permission' craziness?

First: you are most likely not *the* Administrator, you are probably
*an* Administrator, i.e., a normal user with (a subset of )
Administrator privileges.

You can turn off UAC, but you do open yourself to some malware attacks.

To log on as *the* Admin, first you need to enable it, then you need to
switch users to the real Admin:

I should have added to my other post:

Stop using Windows 7 :-)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

OK, I'm not really sorry...

Did you read some of the threads at that site ? Comes down to "If you
don't know what you are doing, stay the hell out".

Just a footnote. You don't have to open a command box. Running the
command(s) in the Run box will work.

That's OK. One day I may take that advice and buy a MAC. All three of our
kids have MACs now, and our son was a devout Windows freak.

Ignore my other post. I got the command prompt to work.

I *was* going to ignore it - it was too vituperative for my taste,
considering that:

1. I was trying to help.

2. I gave accurate advice.

3. I gave you a pointer to further accurate advice.
