Problem

I was trying to use command in (I have Windows 7 OS) I was logged on as administrator, but I got: You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation. I used the same command in Vista, it worked OK. Any ideas why it does not work in Windows 7?

Fix for: Got not sufficient privileges message in CMD when logged on as administrator

Low Risk

Try explicitly running the CMD shell as administrator. If that doesn't help, then try the command. Quotes around the command and its arguments are required.
