Thanks Brian
I really dont know what is wrong here.
I tried your suggestions but it would not let me change anything, I kept
getting access denied.
Getting fed up with this. I think its something to do with the program that
is creating these files.
I am really confused as to how many accounts are on this laptop, I am sure
there is only one but but I have to options keep showing up. one under
users and one under Graham.
Software was installed on this laptop by the store where i bought it and the
personalised folder was named Store. Took me a while to realise what this
store folder was. Anyway I renamed it Graham, now I see Graham and
GrahamStore in various places, yes I am confused.
I use a client to play a game which was just fine in XP but when I changed
over to windows seven the set files that this client produces get saved in a
different place as to where they were designned to be saved by the client.
the set files that were created in Xp cannot be altered but the ones created
useing windows seven can. However I want to use the xp ones but seven keeps
loading the seven ones, I have copied contents from one to the other etc.
boy o boy I bet I lost you ages ago. I realise its a path problem and
Believe me I have looked at the paths and all sorts, anyway thats enough for
now I am done with this for a bit.
thanks again
Graham

Hello Graham,
You might want to check that your administrative account has full control.
If you want to set it for the entire hard drive then navigate to that drive
in Windows Explorer. Use your application key on the hard drive name in
Windows Explorer and find the properties menu choice. Open the properties.
Use CTRL+tab key until you get to the security page tab. Tab to the edit
button and press spacebar. A list of user accounts should come into view
(so to speak). Use up or down arrow key in the list. You said that your
account is an administrator account so if there are two entries for your
specific user account in the list make sure to pick the administrator
account with your specific account name in it. Tab to the full control
checkbox and use spacebar on it if it is not already checked. If you check
the box then tab to the apply button and use spacebar and then the OK button
or whichever button gives the result of accepting your changes and closing
the box.
You can similarly change permissions in a specific folder or file in Windows
7. For example, if you want to save all of the Notepad files in the "My
Documents" folder then change the permissions for that specific folder and
for your administrative account. Use Windows key with 2 to move into the
libraries. Use shift+tab to move to the tree structure of folders and open
libraries, open documents, and move on to the My Documents branch. Press
application key or shift+f10 to use the context menu and choose the
properties menu choice. In the resulting dialog box, use CTRL+tab key until
you get to the security page of the dialog box. Tab to the edit button and
press spacebar. In the child window that appears use up or down arrow key
inn the list of user accounts until focus moves to your specific
administrative account. Use tab key and if you find a checkbox for allowing
full control that is not checked then use spacebar on it to check it. If
you find only the deny choice for all checkboxes as you tab across the
permissions then the account likely has full control. Use the apply, OK
button, answer prompts, ETC. in such a way that your changes will be
retained. In this dialog, you can set permissions for modifying files,
executing, reading, writing by using checkboxes to allow or not allow those
actions by the specific user account chosen in the list of accounts. The
"list folder contents" choice, of course, is only available for folder
permissions.
Windows 7 uses such things as folder and registry virtualization and "secure
desktop" as part of the user account control technology, so it really is
best to keep the default setting of 66% in your user account control.
However, I think your problem with not being able to save or modify is a
permissions problem and likely not related to the user account control.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Adminastative rights
Please please someONE help me.
I have just enabled my UAC on windows 7 home premium with latest Jaws 12.
I am trying to alter some files in Notepad that I have created but access is
denied when I go to sae my changes.
I have adminastrative rights enabled for my accOunt.
The only way I can get it to work is by right clicking Notepad in the search
box after pressing the start button and choosing run as administrator from
the list.
Ok this works but only the once when I try to alter another file access is
denied again.
How can I hold my adminastrative rights for notepad?
My UAC is set at 66%.
If I turn UAC off I have no problems whatsoever.
Really appreciate any help.
Graham
