How do or why can't I get administrator rights on windows 7

Hello deweydude,

"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:


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

Hope that helps,

Best regards. :)

hello tashi thanks for replying. I know that much and I am logged in to my pc as administrator but it still don't recognise administrator status and I can find anything in S&D to run as administrator ?

Hi deweydude,

In the Start menu do you see the Spybot folder? :)
