Startup Applications Help Please

[keithq1961]

I am trying to use "show and manage applications" tools in Spybot Search and Destroy. I am getting the following statement when I try to change a application to not startup. The statement is: "you are missing administrator rights to perform this action". I am using Windows 7. my user account is as an administrator. So I don't understand why Spybot is saying I am not an administrator. I don't know if it is a bug in Spybot or is there another level of "administrator" I am not aware of.

Hello keithq1961,

"On Windows Vista and Windows 7, Spybot-S&D might tell you that you are not authorized to perform some actions, since they require Administrator rights. You can solve this problem as follows:

1. Right-click the Spybot - Search & Destroy entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu."

From our FAQ here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/42.html

There is also a screen shot which may be of help. :)

Best regards.
