Default Privileges on MY Home Comp

Hi,

Occasionally I get the following message when trying to do something....like
change a driver or update a file, etc.

The current logged on user does not have ownership privileges on
the file (or folder) "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\".

It is on my desktop machine at home...running Vista Ultimate.

It is MY Machine and I am the Administrator....supposedly.

How do I ensure that this is the case ensuring I am the
Owner/Administrator - to stop these messages from cropping up again???

Any help would be appreciated

cheers

FG

Hello,

This is a security feature of Windows that prevents the modification of
these files except by installation programs.

If you need to modify these files manually, you will need to first take
ownership of the specific file, and then grantyourself permission to modify
the file.
