Fix iTunes in Windows Vista

If you are an iTunes user and have purchased any songs from the on-line store you may have some issues when trying to authorize your computer to play back your songs. While authorizing your computer to play your purchased songs iTunes will say everything was successful but you will still not be able to play your songs. Why? Because iTunes is being bad and trying to write to a part of the registry that a normal user does not have access to.

Currently Apple has said they are working on a Vista compatible version of iTunes. For now, there is a work around that will help you play your purchased songs in iTunes:

Right click on your iTunes shortcut and select Properties.
Click on the Compatibility tab.
Check the Run as an Administrator box on the bottom of the screen and hit OK.
