How to disable "You need permission to perform this action" with Windows Vista?
Windows Vista somehow automatically sets file permission on my files/folders. Is there a way that these are disabled? (so all files/folders can be accessed by ANYONE). I never had any problems with Windows XP and NTFS.
I don't want to have problems with permissions when I switch back to XP or with Linux and NTFS.
Re: How to disable "You need permission to perform this action" with Windows Vista?
I am tried to rename a folder (D:\Documents to Documents_old). It get the following error: "You need permission to perform this action". After that I messed around with Vista's Security settings (Access control and permissions), but I am still not capable to change the folder name.
Since you are trying to rename a folder this is what you have to do. It has nothing to do with the UAC. This would happen if you tried to rename any folder or tried to access your XP Profile while it was password protected.

Not a problem. Yes you way is a tad easier. But I wrote up that tutorial a while back. It was nice and easy for me back then to jsut do that as i only need to get permissions over 1 or 2 folders. Not a big group of them.
