My problem is a tad different... This is happening to me after disabling User
Account Control, then trying to move a folder from my Documents to my
Desktop. I immediately get the message "Destination folder access is denied.
You need permission to do this."
All of these ideas seem good, but none of them seem to be working... as a
desperation, I'm following the steps above taking full ownership of my C
drive, and giving myself full access permissions... i will let you know how
that works out.
