I'll show you how to run QuickBooks as an administrator, 

AdvAir.

QuickBooks needs access to various files and folders to run properly. And if it does not have the proper permissions to access or update those files, you can correct this by launching QuickBooks to Run as Administrator. Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Right-click the QuickBooks Desktop icon, then select Properties.
3. Under the Compatibility tab, choose Run this program as administrator.
4. Hit on Apply, then OK.
