I try to run a network utility (LetShare) on my new Dell Inspiron laptop with Vista Home Premium and although I am logged in as the administrator I get this message. “Reconfiguration of NT’s services requires a higher level of permission. Please log in with administrative level permissions so that NT’s services may be reconfigured as required”. Do you know why I get this message and how to resolve it?

User Account Control in Vista builds two access tokens when you log on with an account with administrator privileges. One token has these privs, the other doesn't. The lower privileged token is used unless UAC is triggered for elevation by the application. (You see this when you are prompted to continue or cancel when doing something that needs admin privs.)

Sometimes applications don't trigger UAC to prompt even though the app is attempting to do something it needs those privileges for. In these cases, right click the shortcut and click "Run as Administrator".

The ripple effect is too good not to mention.
If you’re not affected, you’re not paying attention!"

Right click on the .exe file and go to Run as Administrator. That should solve your problem.
From now on all of your .exe files will work without that annoying error.
