There seems to be a serious bug with vista. It does not let you behave as an
administarator even when you are logged in as one you have to chane the
permissions on the file you are accessing to allow all user all rights befor
you can edit it. This unfortunatley means that all users can then modify it,
kind of defeats the whole point. Im assuming this will be fixed soon please
MS.
