Administrator but not Admin privelages?
I am the only user on vista and windows 7 and am the administrator but sometimes it says I need admin privelages to make changes to files, why is that?
To me I shouldn't have that problem since I am the only user and the Administrator.

What types of things are you doing when you get the message?

It happens every once in awhile, but I believe the last thing that caused it was when I installed Vista on an XP Partition and when I opened my computer and went to the C: drive there was the windows.old file from the xp install and I wanted to delete that folder and I was unable to because it said I needed admin. privelages.

Sounds like the system is trying to protect you from yourself
If I'm not mistaken, there is an option in Add/Remove programs to zap the rollback files.

There probably is that option, but it wasn't a big deal I just formatted the drive and started over but it just irritated me that I am the administrator but yet somehow I don't have full rights to my files.

The administrator does not have rights to all of the files and folders.
If you want those rights, you can add them.

I ran into the same problem I thought I could fix it by just changing the folder properties, but it still wouldn't let me get rid of it. How do you add these rights?

Folder Properties, Security, Advanced
First you must take ownership. That done, you can add/edit permissions.
