"Destination Folder Access Denied" when modifying Program Files folder
I get this dialog files whenever I try to modify (copy, delete or edit) contents of the "C:\Program Files" folder or its sub folders. When I click the Continue button, everything goes on fine without any problem. Some programs give write errors when I try to modify a file inside Program Files with them (e.g.; Notepad++ gives write error when I try to edit a text file inside one of the sub-folders of the Program Files folder).Code:Destination Folder Access Denied ------------------------------------ You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this folder. <Folder/Sub-Folder Name> Date created: <Creation Date> ------------------------------------ Continue Skip Cancel
I'm the only user on this computer, and I'm already the administrator who installed this Windows. There is no other OS installed on this machine.
This problem has been occurring for a long time. At first I ignored it, but later it started to became bothersome. I don't remember how have it started, or what had I done before it first appeared.
What can I do to stop Windows showing me this dialog box? I want to freely modify contents of any directory in my computer. This is a home computer, I have no social privacy concerns.
