denied permission

I'm using Win Vista Home Premium 32bit at work. There are two accounts
both are administrator accounts. No standard user account even exists.

Routinely when I create a new folder and name it, I am denied
permission to rename said folder. Sometimes I am denied permission to
add content to a folder I've created earlier.

I wouldn't mind if I was given a prompt to confirm the password, but no
such prompt exists, I'm just told I don't have permission.

A check of the folder permissions suggests my account has full
permission. The online help suggests I have full permission. Everything,
even here it's presumed the admin account does have all the permission
it needs.

To say I'm not happy with this situation would be an understatement.
I'm foaming at the mouth, this is intolerable. How do they suggest I use
a standard account when the administrator account is itself apparently
gimped?

I figured something out, if I restart then I have permission again.
just have to restart the computer 5-6 times every workday it seems
that's how often this 'feature' makes itself known.

Reminds me of the good old days of having to restart Windows95 man
times a day 'cause of it's memory management issues. The more thing
change, the more they stay the same

This is not the answer. Windows Vista is the best operating system in
the world, lots of very very smart people have explained how it is so
superior to any flavor of Linux, any flavor of OSX. Linux and OSX don't
require multiple restarts to maintain existing permissions, Windows
Vista shouldn't either. This is MY fault, it's gotta be something so
simple and basic I'm an idiot for missing it.

I'm using a very new Hewlett Packard computer, came with Vista
installed and meets Vists'a requirements - with a 2gigahertz intel
processor and 2 gigs of Ram.

I admit it, I'm dumb as a post - now tell me why. Be rude. I just want
an answer.

Hi,

My problem was not exactly like yours, but I was asked to log in as
administrator to activate a key. I checked all the rights of the user
(myself) (had the administrator rights like yours). There should not be any
other administrator, I am the only user. Then I checked the Administrator
Tools under Control Panel. Computer Management=>User Groups. There I saw
"Administrator" a disabled account. I enabled it and I could log on and did
whatever I needed to under that account. If that helps, just use only
"Administrator" account. I have not tried, but maybe you can change its name
to whatever you wish. BTW, I do not think Vista authors are so smart. Why did
they disable this account? To make us proud, when we solved the puzzle?

Thanks for the tip, it sounds like a distinct issue though

I use OSX at home and love it, it works and does everything it i
supposed to. I'm spoiled. At work I've developed a reputation as
biased Microsoft basher, my employers are sold on Vista being the best
on Windows being the best possible OS for business. The belief is tha
my issues must relate to not knowing the Vista OS well enough

The truth is that the people that work at Microsoft aren't smart, the
are too smart for that - many of them likely qualify as 'genius' on th
basis of IQ alone. Which suggests nothing that Vista does is an acciden
- it is intentional. Vista has far more money, time and intelligenc
poured into it than any other operating system in the world

Lord knows that I have repeatedly been told how awful OSX is compare
to Windows by loyal Windows users - for years. And they know they ar
right. They would tell me I'm stupid, it's me, not the operating system

Is no one here going to make them right

Why is it that when I look at the original post ( a few others are like this
also), it is totally blank.

I've not had this issue, I use Firefox on Vista home premium and OSX
(leopard).

As the windowing system of the operating system and living in the
Windows kernal, using I.E. for browsing is a security risk even if you
otherwise love the browser (if it is compromised, the very OS is at risk
rather than just a distinct browsing application). This is true for
WinXP and I believe the status of I.E. as windowing system for the OS
has not changed in Vista. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
