Solved Folder access

I noticed after installing the preview today that I was getting an "access denied" when trying to get into my folders in explorer. I was using the Windows account at the time, so I went back to my local account and was able to get into any folder, no problem.

Has anyone else noticed this? It seems that the Windows accounts don't have full administrator priveleges? Would this be intended, or a bug? It's a fairly big annoyance, comparable to UAC when it's on... I can't imagine they intended this.

Go to your favorite web application and search for the program "Take Owership." The is little application is a great addition to your must have. . .

Works fine for WCP

Lee, thanks for the warm welcome.

Everyone, thanks for the tip! This worked perfectly, of course, I just added the menu option and gave myself access to all my drives. No more problems!

Thanks again!

Thank you very much for this tip. Somehow I lost permissions to my external hard drive, and having recently switched to Win8 from XP I didn't even know where to start. Perfect.
