Turning off User Account Control might do the trick.
Using a third party File Manager could also do the trick.

Please note: I am operating under both conditions and never have issues with admin rights.

For Windows 7 - Control Panel >> System and Security >> Action Center >> Change User Account Control settings
If you prefer it, turn User Account Control back on once you have finished managing your files.
