Why doesn't local administrator group have full administrator rights?
I have Windows 7 Home Premium and have one user account set as Administrator. I have full rights to all directories and yet I still have to right click to run certain programs and I still cannot copy certain files into the directory that I have full
rights to. Any solutions?

This is because of UAC feature in Windows 7, even the administrator gets the Standard user token upon logon. By using Run as administrator, the token is upgraded to admin token and full administrators rights are given.
