Basically I'm trying to move a huge folder that currently resides on c:\users\me\desktop to c:\content.

So I've tried cut and pasting, that wouldn't work so I went to the command prompt, opened as admin and used move, which told me 'access is denied'. I'm logged in as an admin user, but not administrator. UAC is turned off.

I tried using takeown to take ownership of the folder, it told me the folder was now owned by me but still won't let me move it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried moving the file in Safe Mode? Did you edit the permissions in the Security tab when you right click/properties to the the file? Double check that admins have full control.
