Access denied 2

I did post this as "access denied", but as such, it got diverted to an
old (september) thread, which had no relation to this problem.
So, here is a new try:

I have Win Vista home premium.
Whatever I do, I always run into those very frustrating "access denied"
messages. They pop up when I try to write to newly created folders, when
I try to use some of my old programs that ran fine under XP, etc. etc.
I am the sole user of this PC, and I would like SOOO much to get rid of
those blockings. I always log in as an administrator. Turning off UAC
didn't help.
As an example, I just tried to make a backup to an external drive, using
the Vista backup option (since my old backup program won't run under
Vista), and after running for a long time it aborted and gave an error
message like (yes) "Access denied - 0X80070005".
Please, please, is there a simple way to get access (for me, and any
program on the PC,) to each and every folder on the PC, so that I can
use it like I did under Win XP? In other words, can I get rid all of
those excessive security measures?
Don't tell me that 'it isn't advisable'. I have now gotten to the point
where even a hacker now and then would be much less frustrating.
Roger.

Roger,

Google "take ownership". It's really straight forward, so ignore anything
that talks about registry changes, etc. Also, the help menu in Vista has a
pretty good step-by-step description of how to take ownership. You can take
ownership of folders or the entire drive. I had the same problem you are
having and got Vista to where I was with XP by just following the take
ownership directions and I'm completely up and running now. If you can't
find anything, repost and I'll give you links to a couple of sites that
helped me. Start with Vista help and look up Take Ownership first and see
if that helps. Try it on a folder or 2 and you'll see how easy it is. Good
luck.

you also have to change permissions...
takeown and icalcs will fix 70% of the problems users are having with Vista,
IMHO.

Yes - I was looking at taking ownership and setting permissions related to
ownership as all-inclusive.

Try this - it will make your life much easier. Run the reg file then
right click on any file or folder giving you ownership problems and
click on take ownership

Many thanks, all.
I will check the suggestions next week (just haven't the time over the
weekend), I'm sure they will help to solve my problems.
Thanks again.
