I am having just the most frustrating time trying to do anything on my computer with windows 8. Every time I turn around, it is telling me I don't have permission to do this or that thing. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? I am at home and this is my own personal computer. No one else uses it. I feel like I am not being given permission to use my own computer that I paid for.
On another forum, I was reading what someone said to someone else who was having this same problem and they advised them to go to their Users folder and right click then click on properties and the Security tab and to change the settings there but it wont allow me to.
I cannot even rename many of my own pictures that I have in a folder. Its ridiculous!
Also, how do I log on as the Administrator? I actually thought that I was doing that anyway, but it just now dawned on me that maybe am not. When I had Windows XP on my old computer it had a thing you clicked to log on as the Administrator, but I don't see that feature anywhere on Windows 8??? and how can I set it where I am always logged on as the Administrator? I looked, as I said before, on the Users/Security thing and all the things are checked as the Administrator but then there's the other one and it has my name on it and the top two are unchecked. So I just realized maybe I need to reset this entire thing? How can I do that so that I always have access to my own stuff on my computer?
