Changing Permissions

Like many of you I am new to Vista (Business). I am trying to delete a file
and the system tells me I do not have the correct permissions. I am the
Administrator.

What is the process to give myself the correct permission level; i.e. start
with control panel/user accounts/account name/etc. I cannot find within help
the simple steps required to help myself. Help.

I look forward to your replies and your assistance. By the way, I am a
saleman and this techie stuff give me a headache!

Re: Changing Permissions

A strange place for Vista to have placed videos. I would have expected
c:\users\bob\videos
