long time user (computers that is) and recently installed windows 7.
I wont repeat what i said when i discovered that i could not easily manually edit files under program files. it took me all of 30 minutes of cursing and swearing before i figured out how to rectify the situation. Apparently even though you are administrator, you cannot edit files you do not own...incredibly enough you have to take ownership of the file you want to edit, make sure its not write protected and then and only then can you edit it. frikkin unbelievable.. if i am admin and i i want to edit/delete a file, i want it done NOW..do not second guess me. i am in charge, i make the desicion...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. linux (long time user here too) also operates on users and ownership on files, but if you are root, then you damn well can do whatever you want wherever you want and THAT is as it should have been. did i say grrrrrrrrrrrr?? nappy-pooed-of-at-M$ ps: rightclicking on a file in program files, and then entering the properties menu, and then remove the write-protect flag will yield no error message, but it will in fact not work. if you take up the properties menu again, the file will STILL be write-protected. you must take ownership of the file first.. dont remember the exact procedure at the top of my head. |
