How do I know if my log on has administrative authority?
If it doesnt how do I change it so it does?

Hi,

Go to Control Panel - User accounts and make the needed changes there.

User Accounts app in Control panel. If you are not an admin, there is a default account you can use to create another.

To Logon as Default Administrator on Pro Edition, from Welcome screen, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Twice , type "Administrator" and use a
blank password (on Home edition - boot to Safe mode - F8 on restart , same logon)
