Vista Problem
« on: June 16, 2009, 12:24:25 PM »
Hi All,
I am running Vista business. My problem is I need to write to the "C" drive. I have turned off the UAC and still no joy. I am a admin on the machine and have give myself full control rights to the "C" drive.

Anyone have any ideas as how I can get to write to the root of "C"?

Thanks

You're nor saying what the exact problem is.

I have a program that writes a MS word doc to the root. This is a temp file and after it is used the file gets deleted. So I need to write a doc file to the root of "C"

    First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator.

    Then enter this command and press Enter:

    Net user administrator /active:yes

    From now on, the Administrator account is enabed login to it and write at C:.
