The account under which I am logged in is the only administrator account on the machine. How do I change the so I have full access to everything on the machine? Tim |

You can first try : right click on the folder, click Run As Administrator. If you can gain access, end of story. If not, try the link below regarding " Take ownership of an item ". Please tell me your result. Take Ownership of file | ||||||||||||
