I am administrator-type user but can't run FSUTIL

x509 · Oct 3, 2010

I'm trying to run fsutil from the cmd box, but I keep getting an error message ... "requires administrative privileges." In the control panel User Accounts, my login ID is listed as "Administrator."

What am I not doing right here?

first thing to try is when you open the CMD you use RUN AS and force/insure it is admin.

Quick little trick for that: windows key, type in 'cmd' (in the search box) and press CTRL+Shift+Enter
You'll then receive the UAC prompt.

Thanks. In some ways, Win 7 is very nice, and in other ways it's a pure pain in the tuchus. :fight:
