Turn OFF permissions.

[Mario]

Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.
You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item.

Tried to access a file from a cd and got the above message.
Tried "Run as Administrator" and no joy.

I'm really sick of this Vista, how do I turn off completely this permissions
obsession Vista has. I didn't have it with XP and that's the way I want
it!
Can anyone assist?

TIA

Sorry, I can't help you with "a file" from "a CD". If you want to try
again, please provided substantially more detail.

I believe the last Microsoft operating system that had no file
permissions was MS-DOS.

Any program I try to run in my Administrator account says this. I am using
Windows Vista Preminum. Can you help? (Ie,Yahoo Widgets,notepad,even logging
off. I have to kill my computer.)

something is wrong, notepad does not require any permisssion
also you should not be running as administrator
running most program as limited user will give you less hassle.


if you do inisist on no protection you may as well go back windows 3.1 or
may be 95
