THAT is not a gnucash question. Are you saying that IF logged on as an 
ordinary user you had no way to switch to administrator without logging 
off and logging back in using your administrator name/password? Too long 
since I last used Windows 7 for me to remember if possible or not.. 
Logging out and logging in as administrator should work. Mind as a 
retired pro, I would normally expect to use that method, log out and log 
in. More modern Windows versions  support temporarily switching to 
administrator to mimic the linux su command.

I don't think (can't remember) whether Win 7 was provided for 64 it.
