Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Security / May 2008Access Denied to Certain Folders
I am trying to access certain folders, such as C:\Windows, and get the message that access is denied. The account under which I am logged in is the only administrator account on the machine. How do I change the so I have full access to everything on the machine? Tim >I am trying to access certain folders, such as C:\Windows, and get the > message that access is denied.

If you can gain access, end of story. If not, try the link below regarding " Take ownership of an item ". Please tell me your result. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html We changed the ACL model in Vista so that even local administrators have only read access to the operating system files. What are you trying to do that requires more than this?
