Hard drive write protected

Hi all,
On my vista box, my C:\ drive is protected against writes and I need
to manually authorize each write.
Needless to say, this is turning out into a major pain in the ass as I
can't run any programs which need write access.
Is this an inbuilt Vista feature? How do I disable this?
Thanks,
Sashi

The NTFS file system allow you to change access right if you 'run as admin'.

You receive an error message when you try to save a file to a hard disk
drive or to a flash device in Windows Vista :

You might try this. Open an admin command prompt. Type [cd\] Press Enter.
Type [attrib -r] Press Enter.
