Missing Create or Extend Web Application in Central Administration

Recently I wanted to create a new web application in SharePoint and so I went to the Central Admin website to create one, but the option was missing. Even though I was logged in as the System Account, the farm administration account I couldn't see the link. If I navigated directly to /_admin/extendvs.aspx I got an access denied message and none of the accounts configured for SharePoint would allow me access.

Use the link from Start Menu. As soon as I navigated from the start menu I realized that I was .
using Windows Server 2008 and that Central Admin has to be run with administrator privileges.
As soon as the browser opened the 'Create or Extend Web Application' link .

Here's how you can do it. Hide the image and give our custom image element a background image. Look Like: .ms-viewselector-arrow {     background: transparent url('/PublishingImages/images/Arrow.png') no-repeat scroll 0 0;     height: 4px; /* height of the image */     width: 5px; /* width of the image */ } .ms-viewselector-arrow img {     display: none; }
