Hi, I am setting up a windows 8 installation for my son. He wants to be able to use the new start menu, as well as desktop.
I am having a nightmare trying to get things installed and running. I get Access denied errors, UAC nags and so on. I have set his account up as an administrator, but Windows still wont installed things, or let me extract things to C: drive folders.
I found a post about turning off approval mode so things can work, but it disables UAC, which then disables APPs.
I want to be able to install anything I want, without nags, permissions errors, access denied, on any drive without half a dozens extra steps or mouse clicks, and still be able to run apps from the new start screen, as well as desktop programs.
I have also installed classic shell because he wanted the windows 7 start menu, and have added the quick launch.
I have spent the better part of the last day and a half reading through posts of many other frustrated users, but nothing really seems to solve the problems.
Can any one help?
thanks
Tanya
