    C: No Permissions???


    Does anyone have a fix or (at least) a reason for this problem?
    Every time I try to save a file to my C:, it tells me that I am unable to because I don't have permission. My profile is set up to full Admin... I can't figure this out. HELP!! :)

    Your default account that the install creates does not have FULL admin access...

    Just a question regarding this topic.

    Is there a way to set the permissions on the C drive manually?

    So, I found out that Win7 doesn't like to save directly to the C: for security reasons.
    I guess it means that I should just save to folders WITHIN the C: and not directly TO C:?
    Do I have this right?

    ...that is one thing that i noticed, I can't save directly to C: but you can move/paste files to C: drive.

    try using the "take ownership" tool this and turning off UAC may work better

    Why would you want to save files to the root of drive C: ? ?
    This after awhile would affect performance...or am i misunderstanding here ? ?

    OK you need to take ownership instructions here Take Ownership Shortcut

    It isnt a real good idea to save to root. why would you want to?
