ok im getting sick of this. I've got dozens of folders on my PC that i cant delete because apparently i need admin privileges (even tho i am admin). Even if i switch user to the dedicated hidden admin account it still tells me i dont have the rights to delete stuff from MY OWN COMPUTER. It's utterly ridiculous.
Cant beleive i actually bought this joke of an OS. I feel completely vindicated for pirating previous versions of windows and certainly wont be wasting money on future versions if this is the path they are going down.
Do i really need to install XP to be able to have a clean and tidy computer?
I can make a new folder and instantly i dont have the rights to delete it, surely that cant be normal?
I really dont want to have to go back to XP but unless anyone knows a way to remove this stupid and completely unnecessary behaviour it seems like the only choice i have.
All i want is to have 1 account, my account, from which i can do anything i like, and yes, i do understand the risks involved in that.
or if not, and i do have to waste time switching to an admin account every time i want to delete/uninstall something, i at least want it to work from there which it currently does not
I have the UAC set to the bottom but still it tries to babysit my every move.
So sick of it. Linux is looking more attractive by the day.
