New Umbraco 7 - no admin links in settings panel

Question

I've installed Umbraco 7.18 via Microsoft Web Platform installer.. It downloaded, installed, and setup correctly from what I can see.

However, I've logged onto the CMS, and don't have any CMS admin options in the left hand settings panel, nor can I see how I can edit any pages.. I am sure I am missing something quite obvious, but hopefully someone can help me here.

I've checked my username properties (seems to be the only admin feature I can open), and I am set as an administrator..

Thanks

To help others who this may happen too, the solution is to simply clear all your cookies, and restart the browser.

Strange that you have to do this on a newly installed solution, but there you go!
