When I try to delete a file in a folder which was created way before I had Windows 7 it says:
You need permission to perform this action.
You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file.
But I AM the administrator. My account belongs to Administrators group. What the hell?
On a similar note, all the programs that don't have a GUI and are shell extensions can't create or modify files anywhere and Windows will never ask for my permission, so they basically won't work. How do I fix it?
The biggest question: why do I need to "run as administrator" when I am administrator already?
Answer
Have you tried to take ownership of the folders? Right-click > Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner and Take ownership as yourself (not administrator).
