Administrator Permision
I recently installed Windows Vista RC1 Build 5600 on my computer. I happened
to install it on the same hard-drive as my previous version of Windows. This moved my old windows file to a file called windows.old. Because I have a new windows folder I have to re-install all my programs. However when I tried to access an .exe file I got a error message saying (You don't have permision to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administator to obtain permision.) I am already the administrator and have uac disabled. I would just download the file again, but now I can't even delete it, this presents a problem as it is about 2gigs. Thanks in advance. |
