User Account dilemma (run as administrator)

under user account, there is only one user which is me and it has "Administrator" 
under it so i assume it is administrator which can do everything.

When i run CCleaner, it analyzes the System Temporary Files to be removed but when 
i run the cleaner, none of it gets removed.. so i went to "Run as" and i see that 
it's running as JC1\JC\ (running as user?). i go to Administrator but i cannot run 
it as administrator.. mostlikely because administrator does not have a password set 
on it

to make everything simple, how can i make it so that my account (JC1) can run anytihng, 
make any changes on the computer with any privilege locks? the user account claims 
that my account is Administrator yet i am locked to do such thigns as delete temporary 
files from System in CCleaner...

in my windows 7 & vista laptop, it seems i am capable of deleting those files but 
idk why on the XP machine
