   You change your user account status in Control Panel. XP sets new   
   accounts up as Administrator by default, so it's odd that you imply   
   that you're not already one.

   I rarely see Windows XP complain about about permissions unless it's a   
   file ownership issue.   
      
   You should get back to us when you remember what your actual problem   
   is.
