The Requested Operation Requires Elevation

Huh!!! What the Hell!?

That was my initial reaction to that message. I attempted to complete an operation at the command line, and being logged on as an administrator I was taken by surprise. Turns out this is a component of UAC. This is the command-line version of those pestering dialogue boxes. To get around this either disable your UAC or follow these steps: (I will use the command-line since this is the program you'll likely encounter this error)

1. Click Start-> (right click) Command Prompt.
   
2. Select "Run as Administrator"
   
3. Enter your credentials and press enter.
