"Do Not Have Permission" To Write

[rrobb4444]

A Vista user, I receive a message that I "do not have permission" to write files to a folder. It is a temp folder. I am the administrator of the computer -- I sign in with a password, etc. -- and I am the only user of the computer. Yet I do not see where I can "give myself" the needed permission. I will not bother asking why the administrator would need permission, nor why I would need anyone's permission to use my own computer. Anyone have an idea on how I can rid myself of this nonsense (other than buying a Mac)? Thanks in advance.

In Vista, real administrator folder is hidden, so it won't get messed up by a user.
What you use is semi-administrator account.
Try to take ownership of troubling folder:
