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.

Other Info
All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.
From the programs menu, right click on the Winzip icon and select Run as Administrator ...
