I have just upgraded to Vista Ultimate and am probably experiencing a lot of
what you all went through when you first upgraded. Yes, I have learned how
to take ownership and set full permissions both for myself individually and
as administrator (which I am logged in as). However, I still cannot drag
and drop or rename files without TWO confirmation dialogs for each single
operation. This is just too much. I need to take it down to one.
Confirming twice is definitely not a usability improvement over confirming
once, and I can't live with it anymore. Would someone be kind enough to
tell me the best way around this?

Thanks!

Hi, Tony.

I don't need to confirm most moves - so long as I stay out of Vista's
restricted zones, such as the Root of Drive C: or C:\Program Files. Or to a
location that I've not yet given myself permission to access. Yes, UAC is
turned on.

But, as a one-man one-computer kind of guy, I've not yet learned very much
about file ownership and permissions, so I can't help you much.
