    You require permission from \ to make changes to this file


    I am the only user on my home laptop computer. I am the administrator, and I am using the administrator account. When I try to delete a folder, I get a popup saying, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder." When I click continue, I get a popup saying, "You require permission from [my computer name]\[my user name] to make changes to this file." How do I get permission from MY COMPUTER to make changes to MY COMPUTER?I am already using the administrator account. How do I make myself THE COMPUTER?

    :)
