    Administrative Privileges - WinZip


    Under System - User Accounts I am shown as Administrator, but when I try to configure the Options under WinZip, it says 'Note you need Administrative Privileges to modify these system options' and the options are greyed out. I am trying to get what I had with XP where if I right clicked on a Winzip file, I would get several Winzip options, for example winzip to folder. Am I missing something?

    User Account Control. Even though you're an Admin, you're not.

    right-click on a Winzip icon and go "Run as Administrator". Then configure it.
