| | Re: Modify files on \windows\system32 You must use Windows Explorer and UAC must be enabled. You will get several UAC prompts when trying to modify system files. If UAC is disabled you would have to use the icacls command in a command prompt. It's much more complicated. In Windows Explorer browse to the file. Right click it and pick Properties. On the Security tab click on Advanced. Change the owner to yourself. You may have to reboot or logoff then logon. You should now be able to change the security settings. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Marcos Paione" <marcospaioneNOSPAM@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ec1KRPgLIHA.5208@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, how to change files (mapisvc.inf) permissions on windows vista, the > file is in c:\windows\system32, and I'm member of Administrators group. > > Thanks a lot. > > Marcos |

| | Re: Modify files on \windows\system32 I was wondering the same but found out that file may need to be directly modified in some circumstances. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca "Jesper" <Jesper@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:05AEDCD9-4697-48F6-A383-E6F543539C13@xxxxxx Quote: > Marcos, why are you trying to modify system files? > > --- > Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 > > > "Kerry Brown" wrote: > Quote: >> You must use Windows Explorer and UAC must be enabled.
