    Need Administrator Permission


    I'm trying to replace calc.exe in the System 32 folder with a version from XP, but keep getting a notice that I don't have permission. I'm in as the Administrator, what more do I need to do?

    Thanks!

    :)

    'need administrator permission'?

    What I did late last night was a total System Restore. Took almost an hour.

    So far today I tried deleting things, saving a picture and now it has been working fine.

    The only thing I can think of that I did different, was an update to a broadcaster I use.

    The restore went back just before this. Knock on wood, it's ok now. Thank you for your reply as I will save it incase I do need it.... Need Administrator Permission :)

    Sorry, I figured it out. I downloaded and installed the "take ownership" registry hack and it worked. *Smile

    So is the permissions thing a bug, or just MS trying to keep people out of the Windows files?

  7. Probably (most likely) to keep people from messing up important files. *Smile
