Installing and Saving Files

I have recently purchased a Windows Vista Home Premium OS, but there is a
problem that has risen. For some unknown reason I can't install files or save
them onto my Program Files section without it telling me I need
Administrative Rights. The real problem is that I'm the only user and also
the only administrator.
Now, I have to save my files onto my personal folder located in
"C:\Users\(my user name)\AppData(which is a hidden
folder)\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files". After that, then I transer the
files via copying and pasting into my Program Files (which is somehow
allowed). How can I save myself from accessing 6 different files to get to my
files to just going from C drive to Program Files? Please help, I've been
trying to solve for days.

I had a similar problem and this is how I solved it.
1. Click Start
2. Control Panel
3. User Accounts
4. Make changes to your User Account
5.Turn User Account control on or off
6. Uncheck the box...Use User account control (UAC) to help protect your
computer.
7. Click OK button

Thats it. Now you have control of your computer.

NEXT... to keep from logging in every time you turn on the computer,

Still in control panel...
1. Click Parental Controls
2. At the computer Administrator icon click to remove password or (no
password).

Let me know if this fixes your problem.

P.S. I answered a similar question on another newsgroup and was sort of
reprimanded for it.

Your about to be reprimanded again.

Turning off UAC not only gives you complete control of the computer, it also
gives anything/anybopdy complete control of the computer.

With UAC enabled, if a program needs complete access to sensitive areas of
the computer, UAC notifies the user and requests that the user either
enables this access or denies the request.

With UAC disabled, all programs have complete access to the computer without
the user being notified or even aware of what action is about to take place.

This means that if a virus, spyware or other malicious program gets on the
system, there is nothing to stop it from damaging the system.
