Account Control - Is There A Way For Me To Universally Set Myself As Admin For All Drives, Folders, Partitions, etc. On  Win 7 Pro 64-Bit
Not to be crass, but I want to know if there is a way to universally set mysef, say my user name is John Smith, as always having highest level admin rights with regards to deleting folders or files, with regards to drvies and partitions, and with regards to installing, running or removing programs? I have a small SOHO network of 3 computers connected by 1000BaseT. They are not on the internet except when I transfer my cable modem's WAN connection to an internet router for updates, validations, etc, which I do as infrequently as possible. I have a sandbox system on the net on a wireless Guest Client that is electronically isolated from my wired network and if I download anything it gets scanned there with several programs and then transferred via thumb drive. I also do my emails from that sandbox system. I like Win 7 in just about every way except that I always run into some admin situation where I am not allowed to run a program, delete a file, share a folder, etc. because of some admin issues. In short, is there a utility or a set of steps I can take that will make me master of all time, dimension, and space on my computer? Yeah, I want to be absolute ruler, have the same level of privilege as Trusted Installer if possible, etc. ? I don't care about security privileges. My system is in a locked room, my user has a login and password, I'm the only one on my network, and all important files are removed on a drive cartridge and physically kept locked up. Thanks for any help.

Hi, To get administrator privilege, you should add your account to Administrators group. Then, you will get administrator privilege to modify files and drives. However, some system files in Windows 7 are protected and it only can be modified by the built-in administrator account. If you would like to modify this kind of file, you can login on the machine with the built-in account or temporarily turn off UAC. Thanks, Novak
