Default Gaining control in w-7

I started a new thread since it's a different subject. How do I do away
with all the irritating and aggravating "permissions" in W-7? I can't take
control of anything and I'm the Administrator. How is all this crap shut
off or shut down? Under Properties (for a dll file for example) I can't
change anything. It's grayed out. I don't even feel like I own the W-7
computer.

Please, anyone... how do I stop this 'permission' craziness?


First: you are most likely not *the* Administrator, you are probably
*an* Administrator, i.e., a normal user with (a subset of )
Administrator privileges.

You can turn off UAC, but you do open yourself to some malware attacks.

To log on as *the* Admin, first you need to enable it, then you need to
switch users to the real Admin:
