Hi Everyone

I have recently installed Windows 8 Professional 64 bit version on my new PC.

I don't seem to have access to the C:\Windows\Temp\ folder in Windows 8. Some of the applications that I want o install seem to need write access to this folder. I am running as an Administrator but I still can't change the folder permissions.

Is there a way to do so - so that I can then install these programs?


Best regards

When I look at the Security tab for C:\Windows\temp I get the following:

What does yours show.

Right click on C:\Windows\temp and select Properties. Click on the Security tab.

Try giving Full Control to Administrators/(DepakPC/Administrators), see if that helps.

Uncheck this, it will allow programs to install files in it:

Also, try this:

Then:

After that:

And click ok then yes and you and your programs should now have access to Temp folder.
Hope i helped.
