Please help me achieve Nirvana (Administrator rights) on this laptop

[Ike]

WHP, working beautifully in every respect.

However, I've just installed XdN Tweaker and would like
to exploit some of its functions, but Vista says, "Must
have Administrator privileges".

Please help me achieve that exalted status - permanently.

Thanks,

Ike

Hi,

You can't, at least not until the application is rewritten to function under
Vista properly. It is likely trying to write to the program folder rather
than the user's virtual appdata folder. To do so requires elevated
privileges that cannot be invoked automatically. For now, run the
application by right clicking the icon and using 'run as administrator'. Or,
right click the icon and choose properties and enable the option to always
run elevated. Both will still require that you acknowledge the UAC prompt.
