If you are not certain if you have local administrator's rights, the easiest way to find out is to click on start menu, click on control panel, then select "User Accounts." Look to the right and you will see your user name; right below your user name should say "Administrator" if you are logged in under an Administrator account. Close out window after verifying.
- 2). Click on your Start menu to display menu options, then select All Programs, and then scroll to the top of the folder list and click on Accessories.
- 3). Select Run, and type "secpol.msc" (do not include quotation marks). Click OK. This should bring up the following message "Windows needs your permission to continue."
Click on the option to continue. - 4). Choose "Local Policies" and double mouse click on Security Options. Search the list by scrolling down until you find "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users" then double mouse click.
- 5). Select the drop-down menu option "Automatically deny elevation requests." This will disable the message from displaying in the future. Click OK and close window.
