I'm on a new laptop running Windows 8 Pro, and I'm running into permission issues. I just created an icon (using Axialis Icon workshop), and tried to save it to a folder which I myself created. But I got this message:
C:\Program Files\Icons\IN-USE\GS.ico
You don’t have permission to save in this location.
Contact the administrator to obtain permission.
Would you like to save in the My Pictures folder instead?
No, I wouldn't like to save in My Pictures. I never use it. How can I get permission to save to the folder I want? I'm a sole user; I'm a member of administrators; I've tried (unsuccessfully so far) to give myself permission to run all programs without being nagged.
I suspect that taking ownership of the C:\Program Files might do the trick, but it seems like an extreme measure. Should I simply follow the steps in Brink's tutorial 'How to Allow or Deny Access Permisions to Users and Groups in Windows 8'?
Thanks
Mary
