Problem Changing Permissions of Folders and Files; e.g. read, write
On Windows 7 we have UAC which I have set to notify me only if others want to make changes to reduce the popups.
I am the only user, the administrator, logged in as such and yet changes that I make to folder and file permissions do not "stick." Changes are apparently made but they default back to Read Only for example even when I uncheck the block.
There seems to be a whole lot of paranoia regarding security of the system which really prohibits me from taking full advantage of the PC. I have sold legacy programs on my systems and when I attempt to change the file (.exe file) properties I am prohibited. The error message cites a .pif file is missing or otherwise in use!
