Hi EasyRider,

I've taken ownership of the folders, and unchecked the "read-only" box a few dozen times now, but everytime I go back and look at the properties of the folder, the "read-only" box is checked again. It will let me uncheck the read-only box, but it will reset it once I close the folder's properties window.

Edit: And thanks for the link, but I'm not sure I want to mess with the system registry.

The take ownership will get you past the UAC setting your settings back to vista settings all the time.

The registry hack is so that when you right click on a file or folder there will be an added tool to use in the right click drop down menu called "Take Ownership"
right click on a file and then scroll down the drop down list to "take ownership" and click on it and you will then have total control over that file or folder and the UAC and Vista will never reset that file or folder back.

You will have control,not vista!!!

I added take ownership as the very first thing I added to my new Visa PC,I have never regretted using it!
Vista sucks/U.A.C. sucks....you want control of your PC then "Take Ownership" is the way to do it :wink:

make a restore point on your PC if your worried about installing a registry hack
