[QUOTE="Mystere, post: 111499, member: 6025"] Windows 8 has no more prompts than Windows 7. You also did not disable UAC, otherwise you would not get such prompts. UAC is the only thing that will allow those prompts. In fact, you can't really disable UAC (well, you can, but there's no ui for it), all you can do is lower the threshold in which prompts appear. [URL]http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5509-user-account-control-uac-change-settings-windows-8-a.html[/URL] What you are seeing is because the folders you are trying to extract to still have Windows 7 security ACL's. You have not yet granted ownership to your Windows 8 account. [/QUOTE]
