Hi. Today I tried to delete a folder only to get a message saying:
Folder access denied
--------------------
You need permission to perform this action
You require permission from PC\<myusernamehere> to make changes to this folder
That's really smart. So I need permission from myself to delete the folder
. I've set the ownership of the folder to myself and set everything in the properties dialog to my favor, but I still get this very witty message.
This is not the first time I've fallen in such scenario. I would be happy if someone could explain Windows 7's permission system because on previous versions I haven't been getting dumb messages like this or ones like:
Folder access denied
--------------------
You'll need to provide administration permission to delete this folder
and a button Continue below.
What is that supposed to mean? Windows is not sure I'm an administrator, so it's asking me to press a button to prove I am???
