How can I get Administrator rights under Windows Vista? FAQ #042

On Windows Vista, Spybot-S&D; might tell you that for some actions, you are not being allowed to operate them, since they would require administration elevation. You can solve this problem as follows:

  1. Right-click the Spybot - Search&Destroy; entry in your start menu, instead of just left-clicking to start it.
  2. Choose Run as administrator from the context menu.
