beejay1a Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Sometimes when I go to move a folder from one location to another, I get a warning box saying something like you do not have permission to do that.Is there a way to disable this. I already have UAC disabled as well, but that does not control this I figure.thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just try once more disable UAC.Type "msconfig" (without quoate) in Run Dialog Box.Go to last tab and look for Disable UAC; select this and launch this one.Restart your PC to take effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war59312 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hi,This is not UAC at all.This is due to the fact that your normal admin accounts are not real admins.Your account does not own the files and folder by default... And you only have read access permissions to them as well...To fix this permanently you can run as a real admin via the likes of:http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=537806Or you can take ownership and gain full rights to files and folders on the fly...Take Ownership of a folder plus all files in specified directory and all subdirectories:takeown /F "%Systemroot%\System32\drivers" /RTake Ownership of a file:takeown /F "%Systemroot%\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys"Give yourself full rights on a folder plus all files in specified directory and all subdirectoriesicacls "%Systemroot%\System32\drivers" /grant %username%:F /TGive yourself full rights on a file:icacls "%Systemroot%\System32\drivers\tcpip.sys" /grant %username%:FTake Care,Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
