Access Denied problem. Please Help

I am partitioning my C drive so I can install Windows Pro as a duel boot to
the pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium 6.0 )build 6001: Service Pack
1) My instructions says that I am to select "Shrink Volume" in Disk
Management. It starts to do that then I get a box that drops down that says,
"Local Disk Manager" at the top, and below it says "Access is Denied". How
do I get past this to shrink the volume?

G@ry

Why is mine in red, and what are the glasses on the left?

What is red?

What kind of glasses? Sunglasses?

Try again and please, be a lot more specific as what you are really trying
to do and what utility you are using to attempt to do the work.

Because in the Advanced Options you have a check mark for "Mark threads I
start as watched".

Tools/Options/Read tab, you have "Highlight Watched Messages: red"

Tools/Options/Advanced tab, under Message Threads you have the line enabled
to watch threads you start.
