So, if you only have one account, why is it asking for permission from 'name' which I assume is an alias for the real name of a different user (with full admin privileges). This is not my area of expertise but it sure sounds like 'name' is in control and you may just be a limited user.
Here's one

OK, this is not my strong area of support and I am not sure of how the password protected might affect your ability to change things. With that said, there are some system files that would require you to take ownership (as suggested by David Bailey); however, just to be sure that is the case, can you give us a specific example of where you are encountering this error? Specifically, is it in a user folder, and, if so, does that user folder have a different username than yours? Did you ever create a new admin user? Any chance you did an upgrade and you are trying to access something in windows.old? Please provide additional detail about what 'name' really means. Is it really another username?
