I am trying to access certain folders, such as C:\Windows, and get the
message that access is denied. The account under which I am logged in is the
only administrator account on the machine. How do I change the so I have
full access to everything on the machine?

Hello Tim,
You can first try : right click on the folder, click Run As Administrator.
If you can gain access, end of story. If not, try the link below regarding "
Take ownership of an item ". Please tell me your result.

We changed the ACL model in Vista so that even local administrators have
only read access to the operating system files. What are you trying to do
that requires more than this?
