Vista - Permission, Permission, Permission!!!

Permission, Permission, Permission!!!

Help please.
I have two accounts on my HP Vista (Premium) system.

Mine, set to administrator, and Guest, which is turned off.
I am the only user.

What do I need to do to overcome the case where I'm constantly told by my
system that
I need permission to copy a file to a folder, or delete a file. These are
not system files or folders.

This doesn't happen every time I want to copy or delete, I just don't
understand why it
happens at all since I I'm the administrator.

I know it's a Vista safety feature, but should be my choice weather I want
it.

Mickey

Re: Permission, Permission, Permission!!!

Have you gone into computer management and manually activated the native administrator account? Or are you using the default administrator account that is set up during install? there is a difference in the permissions given to these accounts. It is part of Vista's User Account Control. You either live with it or turn it off, which leaves you less secure and some native security dependent programs and services will not operate correctly or at all.
