Need Administrator authority

I'm running Vista 64 bit Ultimate and I don't have sufficient privliges to
do the things I need on my system. For instance I can't edit
applicationHost.config file. I'm a member of the administrators group but
that is apparently not enough. How can I get the right authority?
Thanks,
Gary

You fix the problem by adding your user account to the file or folder
that matches the Administrator Group rights. If you're logging onto the
machine as garydean and the account is an admin/user account, then add
user/garydean with full rights to match Administrators, because in some
cases, Vista and UAC look at the combined rights of the two accounts, if
that *user* account is missing or doesn't match the rights of
Administrator's, then access denied or you don't have the privileges.
