A google search for "windows 7 administrator command prompt" reveals:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx and
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/run-a-command-as-administrator-from-the-windows-vista-run-box/ both of which explain in detail how to open a command prompt as administrator. It's similarly easy to find instructions on how to get to the administrative tools in the control panel.
The best way to be less "clueless" - as you call yourself - about computers is to actively learn by trying to research things when you run into problems. These days Google will often find the answer if you try a few different ways to ask the question.
Try re-reading Dave's blog post slowly. When you encounter something you don't understand, look it up. It will take longer that way, but you will learn more and most importantly you will be more able to solve your own problems in future.
