Default bcdedit

hello,

I have a dual boot system (Vista/Xp) and I need to edit the bootloader in order to delete the second OS from the start menu;
I should use bcdedit tool, so I go to the command prompt and type bcedit but access is denied; no command is accepted except the command list.
I access from an administrator account.
What am I missing??...

thx
