Vista - copy permissions

**jlavell** · 07-21-2008

I received a Vista system this morniing for testing our software package. Everytime I try to copy a file to a folder it tells me I need administrator rights, then allows me to continue and copies the file. The user account is not the "administrator" but has aministrator permissions (it belongs to the administrator group). How to I turn off the permissions message?

Hi Jlavell, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you try to copy anything to a location other than the C:\Users\(User Name) locations, then you will need to give permission first.

You cam enable the built-in Administrator account and logon to it when you need to have full access. This tutorial will show you how and help explain the differences in this acount and the default administrator account that you are currently using.

Administrator Account

Hope this helps,
Shawn
