    Do not have sufficient administrator privileges (Grrrrr)


    How can I elevate my user account to the sufficient administrator level where windows will stop telling me everything I cant do? I am on a fresh install of windows, trying to move files over from a backup and I am constantly being told by windows that I don't have sufficient privileges to move files, and it annoys me so much

    Please Help?

    Greetings once again Tomha,

    I believe the following tutorials should help.

    User Account Control - UAC - Change Notification Settings

    Take Ownership Shortcut

    Hope that helps!
