Good morning,

One of my programs requires write access to two files in my 'C' drive's root
drive. This works fine when running the program in Administrator mode but
returns a 'Unable to gain write access' when running as a normal user with
restricted rights. How can I allocate write access permission to these two
files when running as a normal user?

Thanks in advance.

While logged on as administrator, start a Command
Prompt (Start / Run / cmd {OK}), then type these
commands:

cacls c:\File1.txt /e /g everyone:F
cacls c:\File2.txt /e /g everyone:F
