I am having this really weird problem with Windows 8 where it won't let me edit or save to my program files folder in my C: drive. It keeps telling me access is denied
, even when I have taken ownership of the folder and am logged in as an administrator. I can save to my other drives just fine.
The new
menu item is even missing the regular items and only allows me to create a folder.
Can someone please help me out? This is really frustrating.
Here is what the file looks like after I edited the permissions:
I gave myself full control yet I can't edit or create files in the directory.
I have taken ownership of [my
Program Files
folder] Oh boy... – ta.speot.is – 2013-01-12T00:51:51.200That picture is too small to make out anything. If my added instructions below aren't sufficient, consider posting shots of individual windows rather than the whole screen at once to keep them readable. – Nicole Hamilton – 2013-01-12T16:11:19.577

@Karan Thanks! I did not know that. – Nicole Hamilton – 2013-01-13T23:19:30.967
Talking about viewing images is cool, but did the image actually give you any insight into my problem? – TheGateKeeper – 2013-01-14T21:26:42.890
I made both images clickable in my suggested edit. Makes the full-size images nice and easy to access. – Keen – 2013-03-12T01:53:21.170
