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 |

Privileges on MY Home Comp
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. -- - JB Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Flash Gordon" wrote in message ...
