I assume you have UAC disabled?

Log in as admin, right click your D drive, go to properties... somewhere in there you'll find settings for permissions, might've been under sharing...

I'm not on a Windows machine right now so I can't check.

I couldn't think of the name of it. I was thinking UDP. On the otherhand i logged in as admin since i have 3 more for back up. I deleted my 'grandpa' profile i was using then created another grandpa profile with admin rights. Just another job. dragging short cuts etc to desktop.

On the other hand it would be interesting to know why. is it because of some kind of corruption on the drive. Ive seen it before this problem and would like to know a reason if anybody knows.

Then again what is UAC? right now im guessing its security i might want.
i have to leave for a while and maybe someone could answer before i get back.
thankyou. i wrote it down this time. And there was no corruption or anything wrong with Windows or corruption on the drive.
cheers...

UAC = user account control. The annoying thing that makes a pop-up appear every time you run a program and sometimes does what you're experiencing. That's actually security that you probably don't want - it's not very effective and is rather annoying.

If you suspect that your hard drive has corrupted sectors I would run Checkdisk to make sure. To run CHKSDK in Windows 7 do the following:

Open the "Computer" window
Right-click on the drive in question
Select the "Tools" tab
In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>

It has bee a while since I ran CHKDSK on my hard drives. I think I am going to go do it now.
