Vista – Are you a local Administrator? Well, So What…

administrator isn’t necessarily ‘administrator’ anymore :-).  Even while being an administrator, Microsoft (smartly) has now incorporated additional controls to help prevent viruses and silly users from using elevated permissions, to run things they necessarily shouldn’t.  So, you may need to tell the program you are using to ‘run as administrator’, even as someone with administrator credentials.  See the screen scrape below.
