You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes". However, I am the administrator when I'm making these changes. The last time I used msconfig was about a year ago, and it worked fine. What's going on?

I am the adminstrator and the only user of my computer. I need to remove some programs from the MSCONFIG so how do I tell my computer that I am the administrator or why doesn't it know when I start my computer? How do I know that when I start my computer that I am being logged on as the Administrator?
