UAC Off, Still Getting Permission Denied
All, I have just completed a completely fresh Vista Home Premium Install and have installed SP1 and SP2. Have also installed all other Windows updates. I have turned UAC off (screenshot1.jpg). I have verified this in the registry (screenshot2.jpg). The user into which I am currently logged in is an administrator (screenshot3.jpg). However, I am still denied permission to do certain things. The one I first noticed was when attempting to turn off indexing of the C: drive. I uncheck "Index this drive for faster searching." click apply, choose to apply this to subfolders and am prompted (screenshot4.jpg). I select "Continue." and I am still denied access! Pressing "Try Again" does nothing, Ignoring brings up a list of other files for which I am also being denied access, and the only way to get out of the dialogue is to cancel out. Whats going on? (and thanks for reading) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: screenshot1.jpg | |Download: http://forums.techarena.in/attachment.php?attachmentid=10571| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- EagleFalconn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EagleFalconn's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/171494.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...on/1290475.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

UAC Off, Still Getting Permission Denied
I get the same goofy message telling me I need permission (screenshot6.jpg) then the standard UAC window confirmation for managing file attributes, which I couldn't get a screenshot of. And then I got the same error as before (screenshot7.jpg). +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: screenshot7.jpg | |Download: http://forums.techarena.in/attachment.php?attachmentid=10577| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- EagleFalconn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EagleFalconn's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/171494.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-adm...on/1290475.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
