you probably have your built in Admin account disabled.

so nothing has changed i looked and all looks the same control panel user acounts shows me as a administrator but yet what the heck is that other me on the folder security listed as special and then the other admin me as full control, i dont understand this why is it like this and how did it do this??. I think this is why all the sudden my alienware command center has started to ask me for permission. and my total media theater decided to deactivate itself as well i had to reactivate it, some how this other me with just special has appeared. its not on all the applications just a few like total media and my alienware command center and norton.

Tony - suggest you edit your picture in the first post to remove your email address to save getting loads of spam.

To be clear Administrator (with no plural) is the built in administrator.
Tonyxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com is your microsoft account and presumably part of the Administrators (with an s) group.

Who are you normally signing on as?
Is your microsoft account a member of the administrators group?
