Even when the user account has administrative privileges, Windows versions since Vista will not use the full privileges as a security precautions. When you start BleachBit you should see a prompt called the User Access Control (UAC). The UAC will look similar to this:

If you answer YES to the UAC, then a few things will happen
1. This session of BleachBit will have administrative privileges
2. win32com.shell.shell.IsUserAnAdmin() should be True instead of False
3. You should not get this error: error: (5, 'MoveFileEx', 'Access is denied.')

If you answer NO, then the opposite of #1-#3 will happen

Please let me know
1. Whether you see the UAC
2. When you answer YES, if #1-#3 do not happen
