    Angry windows 8 administrator permission

    After used Windows 8 for a period, I found that my account's permission is not the administrator's permission. sometimes I wanna modify something in C drive, it will tell me that I have no administrator's permission.

    However, this account is the only one when I install Windows 8. How possible that it is not administrator?

    I can not understand default settings of Microsoft Windows 8 now. And I need full permission of Windows 8. How can I get that?

    Default Re: windows 8 administrator permission

    Hi,

    I have met the same problem with Windows 8. When I boot the computer, there is only one user account, which is thought to be the administrator account. But when I tried to delete something in C:/, windows 8 indicated me that only administrator has the permission to do such thing.

    Default Re: windows 8 administrator permission

    Hi,

    In fact, this error is quite common and occurs due to permission issues. To enhance security Microsoft has even denied Administrators access to some folders. If you are an administrator and cannot access a folder, this is due to permission error. To give complete permission to yourself, right-click the file or folder and select Properties. Now go to Security tab, and hit the Edit button.

    Then select your username(account) and check the Full Control checkbox. When done, hit OK. Note that when you will check the Full Control checkbox, all others will be automatically checked too.

    Hope this cna help you.
