    User accounts and folders


    I am wondering whats the best owner account to use on user folders. Currently it was either system or unknown.

    I have been having trouble with a game not saving every time I saved which is why I thought of this.

    However I have now changed the owner on each user folder to my account.

    See screenshots.

  2. User account and user folder issue

    You bet! You an also right-click the Start button (the menu there has a shortcut to the Admin command prompt), or you can always just find the command prompt icon shortcut and right-click it to Run-as-admin (the Ctrl-Shift-Enter is just the keyboard shortcut
    for that).
