Need administrator permisson for most folders most of the time
I am an administrator.
UAC is default setting.
Using MSSE.
I can't drag and drop without being asked for administrator permission.
Some apps. such as Bulk Rename Utility fail in certain folders, work in others. Can't work out what setting affects this. (It's not Sharing.) For example, if a I have a bunch of files to rename, sometimes I have to move them to another folder, rename them, and then mpove them back again.
If I create a new folder I have to "visit" it in Explorer before I can do anything with it.
It drives me bananas.
EDIT: It seems the following is true for "problem" folders - In Properties - Security the permissions are greyed out, so I cannot change them. The parent folder is not. (I see now that greyed out just means inherited.")
