problem with "Permissions"
Greetings forumites.
I am the only user of my Windows 7 laptop.
I have only one user account- mine, with administrative permissions etc.
Not that this should make a difference but I removed the password in User Account Settings in the Control Panel so I don't get prompted for it every time I boot my computer. I am the only one who uses it, etc.
My problem is this. I'm running some audio recording software and Windows is not allowing it to save files to the default path. I get a pop-up saying I need administrative permission. As I am the administrator, this is a little frustrating. I also appear not to be able to change the default file path in the software preferences.
Looking at the properties tab of the folder where my software keeps attempting to save, it is set up with certain restrictions, read-only attributes and such. When I attempt to change these properties, again I get a message saying I need "administrator permission". Again, I am the administrator and I am logged in under the only account on the computer, my account, with full administrator permissions.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
