Full Control Rights

Since I am the only one using my computer, and I am an "administrator" user,
I would like to be able to give myself "full control" rights. That way I
could delete an annoying file that remains after a program uninstall, or
replace a faulty .dll that is keeping Windows Mail from opening.

But how on earth do I give myself FULL CONTROL rights? The ability to do so
on the Security tab of the Properties dialogue is grayed-out. How do I GRAY
IT IN?

Running Windows Vista Home Premium, using OneCare for AV.

For now the best solution to the arcane lunacy of Vista management rights is
to switch to XP.
Unfortunately Windows 7 is looking like Vista in sheep's clothing: Microsoft
is going the way of GM. Change the body styling but the innards are frozen
in time.
Lest anyone think Apple is better: price the components in an Apple desktop
and ask yourself if it is worth a 200-400% premium to run a Linux clone that
has limited software and hardware availability and has major stability
problems that most users, who never multitask or run cutting edge software
(because the latter in particular, like 3d games, does not exist in the Mac
world) never realize exist. Not to mention that large scale networking and
enterprise level software does not exist either in the brain dead Apple
world.
And Linux: if all you need is a word processor, a spread sheet and a
crippled version of Firefox you are set for life.

did any one find the solution for this problem, im also having the saam
issues with my account, cant change to the full access rights, it

Don't feel up to searching or guessing so please...
Give the full nomenclature of your Operating System.
Restate your question.

Hello Roxyonly4u

You can use the built-on Administrator account to have full control. B
sure to also read the warning box in the link below though

Hope this helps
