Re: "You need permission to perform this action" insanity

Oh, It might be related to your previous operating system.
Vista is not able to ensure permission of operating files and folders which are created in Windows XP automatically.
I'm not so sure, and do not have a solution.

I just upgraded to Vista x64 from x86 XP and trying to do certain
things is driving me nuts. I have a couple of folders I want to
delete. They are not system related. In fact they are part of Adobe
Acrobat 8.

When I try to delete them I get "You need permission to perform this
action". Here's what I have tried so far:

UAC is off.

Right clicking the folder and giving full control on the security tab

Using the hidden administrator account (net user administrator
/active:yes in cmd run as administrator)



I have been through numerous Google searchesand found nothing useful.
Surely this can be fixed somehow but it apparently isn't easy.

HELP!!
