Vista Security Issues

[Russ]

I'm running Vista Business and disabled all of the nonsense that you don't
need running in the background. I am a administrator of my own machine and I
can not delete folders. I am getting access deny errors. how do I get around
this?

I got the same problem...i know i am the administrator, and i am the ONLY
user on the pc, there isn't no other account i can log in.... so why does it
say that i need more access ? i have been having this same problem forever
now. and i try to change the setting for the folder that i'm trying to
delete like changing who can delete the folder and turn out i had no access
to that either.....dam it...

XP would been so much easier...why did i get vista too...

What folders are you trying to delete that throw this error?

I was able to delete the folder, but I had to play with one of the local
security policies. This O/S is not better than XP Pro in my eyes...

I like it. There is a paradigm shift with it, and a learning curve I found
that it was was often just an issue of lack of knowledge about the new OS
and it's features. Figure out how it works and how to work with it.

Are you using the built i nadmin account or have yo uset up a seperate admin
account?
make sure the permissions on the folder give admin full control.
