Administrator issues in Windows 7
Hi
I am trying to save a file in C:\Program Files. When I try, I get a message that I do not have authority to save anything there, I need to contact the Admin. I AM the admin. This is my home laptop. I checked permissions and for my name permissions say I am the Admin. I'm not logged on using "Administrator" as my log in name tho. I don't think I've ever logged on like that.
Please help me with this!!
thanks

I agree with aj, but if you must, then add your specific username (it is not enough that you are an administrator) with Full permissions to the folder.
