How do I completely eliminate file permission in Vista?

I need to know how I can completely eliminate file permissions in
Windows Vista Home Premium 64. I am not referring to turning User
Control on or off in Control Panel. I need to stop Vista from using any
and all file permissions completely.

I am a single user of this computer. No one else uses it. I want access
to all files and folders on the computer. I have been running into
numerous problems with file management due to file permsissions.

I try to delete a file - I can't because I don't have permission.
I try to move a file folder - I can't because I don't have permission.
I try to open a picture - I can't because I don't have permission.
I try to modify a file -I can't because I don't have permission.

Again, let me repeat: I am the only user of this computer and I am
listed as the Administrator. Yet I still cannot manage my files.

This whole permission thing is a complete productivity killer. I have
wasted hours on it. It is truly ridiculous. I just want to turn the
whole thing OFF.

Is there any way to edit the registry to completely turn permissions
off, i.e. to allow me (or should I say everyone) to access all the files
on my computer?

Or is there a third party software program that will turn it off?

This is really a deal killer for me using Vista. Permissions may be
useful on computers that are used by multiple people, but for single
users like myself they really are a problem.

Any suggestions other than manually changing permissions on every file
and folder would be greatly appreciated.

And even if you enable that account doesn't the account have all
inclusive full rights is some situation.

Vista is not XP.

To my knowledge, in Vista, the only difference between a regular
administrator account the normally disabled Administrator account is that
the disabled Administrator account, when enabled (command window: net user
administrator /active:yes), runs with full administrative privileges at all
times and does not need consent for elevation which makes it a very
dangerous account to use because a program running under it can do anything
the program wants to do without your knowledge or consent.

Where are the files that you have problems with located? Please post the
entire path to a file you can't delete and a picture you can't open along
with the exact error message.

Eliminating File Permissions would not be possible. However, you can
take ownership of the entire C: drive and give yourself full control.

Right click on the C drive in explorer. Choose Properties then
Security. Click Advanced. Click Owner. Take ownership.

Next, go back into Advanced, change the Permissions to grant yourself
full control. Be sure to check the box "apply to all sub directories".
Be prepared to wait about 20 minutes while it runs through the whole C
drive resetting permissions.
