Access to hard drive

Posted: 10-03-2006, 11:51 PM

This one has me stumped so far.

In XP I have always been able to give my account full control over all
folders etc on the hard drive. (Its an admin account)

Vista will not let me do this even when I log in with THE
administrator account.

What is up with this???

I know Vista has more security in it but not allowing me to have full
control over all files/folders on my system really ticks me off!

When I try to give myself full control on say the Program Files
hierarchy, vista just tells me access denied and wont do it. It will
let me do it on all other folders except the Windows one and the
Program Files one.

That is really starting to tick me off.
