I would suggest you to follow these simple steps for the easy solution.

1).Use tomcat7w.exe to always start as an administrator.

2).Right click on the tomcat7w.exe which is in 'bin' folder of the tomcat installation.

3).Select 'Properties', then in 'Compatibility' tab under 'Privilege Level'.

4).Select 'Run this program as an administrator'.

Hope this helps thanks.
