Need to adjust a files properties under progrtamfiles(x86) in win7HP
WAY new to win 7... think i made a damn mistake buying Windows HOME Premium .. the restrictions didnt seem to matter for my needs.. but the User Control seems way limited.
All i want to do is change the properties of a file under C:\Program Files (x86)... ( specifically.. i want to go under the Security tab.. and Deny..read and execute on it )
again.. just a fyi.. i have Windows 7 home premium ( sry im unemployed and the oem was cheap :))..
i Did create the adminstrator account w/ the net use command..
Logging into the ADMIN account.. it doesnt allow me to make the change.. I want to make a change in the security tab of a file.. to DENY it to execute.
I also have the indexer turned off.. ( had superfetch off also.. ( im coming from Vista x64 :) ).. but turned it back on.. odd that my system almost seemed to go faster w/ it OFF..rofls )... sry side tracked.. I was logged in as admin also.. to undo the indexing flag on all the files under c:\.. that didnt work either.... granted i have disabled the index service.. so shouldnt really matter on the index attribute right?
ok back on track :).. am i missing something that i need to do after i log in as admin to change this file attribute?.. is C:\Program Files (x86) a special case on rights?.. do i need to create a c:\apps and install the program there.. to allow myself to do it?.. kinda like how Worldofwarcraft wanted to be put in a completly different location in Vista for rights issues.
so just to reiterate.. this is doing this in the way gimped Win 7 Home premium.. :)..
I Think i turned off UAC.. but all i really have is a slider telling me it wont bother me anymore.. but i;ve confirmed in other areas that it says UAC is not running.
thanks much.
Oh.. and Really MS.. no included email client.. rofls.. making me download Windows Live Mail .. i think i 'switched users' fast.. and WML freaked out.. and ate itself.. already had to do a "reinstall/Fix" on it.. after like 4 days of even originally installing it and win 7..rofls
