Why doesn't the only Admin user have Admin permissions? (with pictures)

So a while ago I ran into the problem that I couldn't run certain programs because I don't have certain Permissions. But I am the only Admin user and I still can't go throught some of the program files without manually having to give myself permission.
I see the ONLY user is Admin
But when I go through the security tabs, I see
2 users with the same name but slightly different description
Is there any way I can fix this?

I started having this problem on Nov.11th and it happened after I reset the IE on my computer because I was unable to use IE to get on the internet. I don't know if resetting IE is the reason for this problem, but after reading your comment it probably didn't. Below is a copy of my comment on this forum. Right now my comments and a reply by Travis can be found on page 5 of thuis forum. Are you using Vista Basic or Home Premium? I have a feeling some kind of update changed this.

A few days ago I couldn't get on the Internet as IE wouldn't work and connection for the internet was ok so out of desperation I did an IE reset. It still didn't work so a family member came over and got it working, but now I get the User Account Control permission popup each time I sign on the desktop by clicking on the IE shortcut. I went to the security folder and turned off the User Account Control and now I'm not getting that popup each time I click on the desktop IE. This popup never used to come on when clicking on the IE shortcut, so something must have happened when I did the reset of IE. Does anyone know how to keep on the User Account Control for all but the IE?
I have a feeling I by accident changed a setting on IE and probably wouldn't have had to do an IE reset.but now the problem is I would like to keep the User Account Control permission popup for all but the IE shortcut on my desktop.
By the way my family member right clicked the desktop shortcut for IE and did something with Run as Administrator to get IE working again.

Why Doesn't the Acrobat File Toolbar Have a "Save As" Button?

One of the most frequently used functions in Acrobat is located under the File menu where you can select "Save As" to select from a number of different file formats and then save the file in a specified folder. The File Toolbar includes a "Save" icon/button that saves only a pdf formatted file to your Documents folder (or whichever folder you specify in Preferences) instead of to whatever specific folder you might want to file that particular document. Another problem is that when you receive a pdf document by email or download it from the internet, it usually comes with a file name that you wouldn't want to use for the file. Once the file is open, you'll want to rename it and save it somewhere. However, if you have not changed the document in any way like editing or commenting, the only applicable icon on the File Toolbar, the Save button, is greyed out and can't be used until you alter the document.
As such, the easy access to the "Save" button on the File Toolbar is wasted in that it will rarely be used when it's not greyed out, and when it might be used before any editing or commenting, it remains greyed out and inaccessible. My request is to make an Icon or even just the label for "Save As" available for selection to go on the File Toolbar where it could be easily accessed. Also, let the user decide if he wants to do a save before altering a document, skip the greying out of the buttons, make them always available for use.

Unfortunately it's not a realistic possibility, because the Save As menu has two sub-levels across several nodes. A drop-down button can't handle that.

Why doesn't the GSM iphone 5 have five LTE bands?

I notice the CDMA iphone has five LTE bands while the GSM instrument has been separated into a European and North American version.

Because it doesn't. No one here can answer any question as to why Apple made the engineering decison they did.

Why doesn't the new time capsule have a thunderbolt port?

it seems absurd apple wouldn't have put a thunderbolt port on the new time capsule.....what am I missing here?

It is a network device.. there is no local connection.. and never has been. Thunderbolt chipsets are super expensive still.. which is why the cheapest external thunderbolt drives are still far more expensive than USB3.
If you put a thunderbolt into the TC it is then a local drive and no internet connection.

Why doesn't the brazilian iTunes Store have Tv Shows?

Hi!. I live in Brazil and before the Brazilian apple store was created I had an account in the iTunes Store of United States. I don't know if this just happens to me but when I log in to my account and it atomatically redirects me to the Brazilian iTunes Store the option 'Tv Shows' isn't available. I would like to know if this is a problem with my credit card or something else. Or if this option doesn't really exist in the Brazilian iTunes Store. Thank you.

Because no app maker has made one and sold it on the Candian App Store.

Why doesn't the nano 7th gen have any games? Like solitaire

The only problem I have now is with streaming/video play. I see FF 9 is out. I'll wait to read comments before upgrading as I'm leary to make things worse.

I have no other details.

It's Extremely intermittent, especially on one of the live morning shows I watch. It's just absolutely awful. And I've changed the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to false, made sure my plug-ins are up to date and someone even told me to find new plug-ins which I did and WMP and RealPlayer did the same thing. So, short of reverting back to FF 7.o or a version that works, (because I'm not sure how to do that) I guess I'll have to wait to see what FF 9.0 is like from some of the other users before updating to that. I just don't want to make it worse. I'm really frustrated with the morning show I'm unable to watch uninterrupted every few seconds.

Why doesn't the iCal on my Mac Pro sync with the iCal on my iPhone?

The iCal on my Mac Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and the iCal on my iPhone (iOS 5.1) don't sync - why? Not very impressed with iCloud at the moment.

You're looking on the wrong page, Anne. Look at the top of that screen; you should see Summary, Info, Apps, Music, and a few other buttons up there. Click on the "Info" button. Then you'll find the options for synching calendars and contacts.

If you want 1080, you will need to purchase the new Apple TV.

Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

Tell Apple at the link below.

Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms? The only option I have now is "use a certificate". It was never like this until today.

Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...
