I'm so frustrated. I'm trying to do such simple things -- I transfer a file
from my external harddrive to my new computer. Then I try to rename it or
delete it and get the "You need permission" run-around. I'm the only user of
this machine and it's an administrator account so it makes no sense to me.
Then with another folder, I renamed it and all went well. Then I tried to
rename it a second time and got the "You need permission" message. I had just
renamed it! How can it give me permission once and deny permission the second
time? I've looked through some of the other posts with similar problems and I
see suggestions about command line executions and stuff and yeah, if that's
what I have to do, I'll do it. But it seems like something is seriously wrong
with this program to be so hard for the typical user (i.e., non-IT person).
So, after my brief rant . . . anyone have ideas what I need to do here? One
thing I'm concerned about . . . I bought this computer as a display model.
The computer name (core admin account) was set to "Best Buy". (Guess where I
bought the computer <g>.) Anyway, I took it back, told them I didn't want my
computer named Best Buy and that I hadn't been able to rename it. They ended
up creating a new admin account, transferring all the files to that, and then
deleting the Best Buy account. Could that be part of why I'm having trouble?
Help?
