ATTENTION ALL:
I think I have found a fix to this. I apologize if someone else posted this already, but by page 3 I had an idea and jumped to the end.
I was having a Horrendous time trying to manage my files. Too many "Administrator permissions needed" messages. Driving me nuts. On top of that, I was having trouble making sense of UAC and Security settings, but I have managed to figure out how to make those darned permissions requests go away!!! Hope this works for you too.
1) Right click on your chosen drive in "My Computer"
2) Click Properties
3) Click Security Tab
4) Check to see if the "Authenticated Users" group has Full Control permissions. If not:
5) Click Advanced
6) Click Change Permissions
7) Select Authenticated Users
8) Click Edit...
9) Select "Full Control"
10) Click OK 4 times
11) Test
It will take quite a long time depending on how much is on that drive, to change the child permissions on every single file and folder on the whole drive. BUT: Hasn't asked me since!!
Please let me know if this works for you all as well
FYI just in case: (I also have SYSTEM and Adminsitrators (Name\Administrators) set to full control too, don't know if that makes a difference as well)
