attached are 2 pics of my security settings, in win7 64-bit professional on home computer, having all windows updates accept for the win10 ones to avoid.
I have my UAC set to the lowest - never notify.
And my Administrator account is enabled.
My ron account is in Administrators group.
I also have steam installed, last week downloaded fallout new vegas, anyone who likes that needs their head examined. got rid of it and now doing modern warfare 2.
I can create new folder and text file on C:\ with no problem.
I see this kind of problem often on work computers where security folks hack gpedit and the registry.
Have seen things such as an administrator account not able edit a file like C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in place. Have to copy that file out to the desktop, edit and save on the desktop, then copy modified file back to location and say overwrite. This is so the system is more secure. If yours is doing it you should be happy
you can try removing all folder/files under C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\
or move the contents out of that location so it's empty,
then reboot, that will clear any group policy settings that may be causing your problem.
Copy back those files/folders under the GroupPolicy folder then reboot to restore what you may have had.
