Hi All!
I'm relatively new here and I have a very annoying problem with my new laptop that, (unfortunately), runs the despicable OS, Windows Hate....oops, I mean '8'. I'm the ONLY user, the owner AND Administrator of my laptop, but I'm denied access to my own files!! I'm only a casual user, meaning I use my PC for "fun stuff"...i.e. writing & reading emails; playing games & searching the internet for things that interest me. I don't have anything on my PC that has to be "guarded" from others, as NO ONE ELSE uses my PC. That said, I should be able to access EVERYTHING on my PC, but the paranoid screwballs at Micro$oft have set up the most confounding OS, & I'm repeatedly denied accessing things like: Program Files, Pictures (even though I'm the one who put them there!!), Properties, etc. etc. I know I'm not the only one who's been confronted with these problems, as I've read the same things repeated on sites in the many places I've visited in my attempt to figure out how to break the chains that Micro$oft has put on MY PC. Does anyone know how to change the settings so I can access my own stuff??? I'm really tired of fighting with a %&#@ machine about this!!! I've tried using the "knowledge base" at M$, but the site is WAY too technical for a casual user like me. I don't understand why MY computer is given the authority to DENY ME access to stuff I entered myself. When I couldn't view my OWN Pictures, (that I put here!!!), I knew I was dealing with a mean animal! Will someone please tell me how I can use my own PC the way I want to...like the "good old days" of XP & even Vista HP? Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions...I'm really frustrated about this...especially since EVERYTHING on my PC was put here BY ME!!!!!
Gratefully,
DogPal
