This is the BIG issue introduced with Vista.
Either turn off User
Account Control, or run the program as Administrator.
I think this
feature was in XP Pro, but turned off by default, in Vista, it was turned on
by default, hence the shock to new users.
Go to [Control
Panel]>[User Account] and turn off User Account Control. Albeit, some rogue
program could execute an exe file without your authorization. BUT if you turn
that off, you are now more in an XP world.
Otherwise, and maybe the
safer mode, is to execute the program in Administrator mode, which in effect
YOU are, as this is a PC at home, and not in a public office
environment.
Do look at Total Commander as an Explorer replacement, and
check the boxes under properties to [X] Run as Admin....
Your
choice.
All 32 bit applications do go by default to the <x86>
program folder on a 64 bit system.
