where is administrator

[charles cashion]

i just tried to write to a file C:\af080327
i was informed that i did not have permission.
let me guess...
i must sign-in as administrator.
as the *ONLY* user of this laptop, i thought i
had *all* privileges.

my question(s)...
(a) if i create user "administrator" will i have
opportunity to give administrator full privileges?
(b) if I create user "administrator" will i have
opportunity to set the password for administrator?
Tnx,
Charles

i found the answer to (a). control panel >
system and maintenance > welcome center >
add user
and the answer to (b) is *YES*
Tnx,

Vista Rule #1.
Even if you have an Administrator account, you normally operate with the
powers of a *normal* user.
You still need to invoke your superpowers when needed, like Popeye and his
spinach.

If you created that folder, you should be able to write to it.
If not, Google "Vista takeown icacls"
