The problem is that people who don't fully understand what they're doing tinker aroundĪnd destroy their ability to run Windows. I can understand the need to set up an operating system for the masses (who don't understand computing concepts very well) so that it's more "idiot proof". While I understand MS's position, they are unrealistic, and seems to be going the way of iOS by hiding the ability to do simple things. Start failing in strange bizarre ways since they will have no access at all to the program file folder

The reason is that any other user account that is not a member of Administrators will Note that I wouldn't remove the "allow users (Rick-Desktop\Users) read/execute" line, instead, add the "modify" permission to that groups permissions. However in this case you can't so you still need to log in as "administrator" before you make the change. Rick - if you click the "change permissions" button, normally you should get the ability to make changes. Poorly done, if I am a member of a group, either explicitly or implicitly then it should say so. Update: "Authenticated Users" is a member of "Users" which should mean that it is the category rather than the specifics. Unless "Users" at the file permission level refers to the category of "any user on the computer" rather than the specific local group "Users." Permissions of the Program Files folders. My account is a member of "Administrators" and "HomeUsers" and is not a member of "Users," yet I have the same issue and am also unable to make any changes to Nick - good catch! though I am not sure it is accurate for Win8.

I know it seems like a pain, but it is really to make your system more secure.
#Windows me program full
The administrators account which has full control (since you are a member of that group). simply removed your other permission sets, and leave only one, either your specific user which is granted full control, OR just leave Set that marks you as an administrator, the lower permission set is trumping it. one listing says you only have read & execute, that permission set also means you are denied write access. In your screenshot you noticed your self that you are listed multiple times, (with multiple permission sets). Your 'user' membership is trumping your 'admin' membership. and more importantly, deny permissions will always trump allow permissions.

Second: windows permissions work in a combined manner. ( such as allowing write access to program files, simple elevate your user permissions only where necessary. it puts your system at risk which is why the default admin account is disabled.

I know this is an old thread, but can't believe no one actually solved your problem the right way.įirst: you should not use an administrator user for day to day tasks.
