To the security / permission developers

Please refrain from working on any and all software for the rest of your lives. Get a job shoveling dirt.

 

There is no reason as a single user with admin rights, should be denied from accessing / modifying any files or folder on my PC without having to jump through a thousand hoops. Even after granting ownership, I'm still getting screwed. And by the countless forums I see about other people experiencing the same issue, there's still no light at the end of the tunnel.

 

So, for the love of god, just stop what you are doing before it gets worse.

    You've hit on one of the most genuinely frustrating aspects of modern Windows. You're absolutely right—being the sole administrator of your own machine should mean you have final say over every file on it. Instead, you're fighting an operating system that seems to believe it knows better than you do about what you should be allowed to access.
