Security issues (Access Denied)
I've been pulling my hair out over this issue, or should I say, these issues.
Firstly, a a minor issue. When I try to rename folders, or delete folders on my 2nd drive D, windows 7 keeps asking for admin permission. Why? How can I stop it from happening? I am the admin. I've tried taking ownership, granted full access. Still it wont stop asking.
But perhaps the most annoying issue. I was trying to modify my hosts file and no matter what guide I follow, I cant save the hosts file. Always access denied.
I've done the following:
Gave myself full permissions in the security tab.
Make sure I was one of the owners.
Run notepad as admin.
And still I can't save it. I know all this security is for my protection, but when I install Win7 with only one account, the admins, I should'nt have to jump through hoops to delete things.
Any ideas?
