On my new Windows 7 - 64 bit computer, occasionally the system would ask me if I wanted the Admin Privileges needed to perform some task I was trying, I'd say Yes, & life was good. But today I wanted to create a new folder in c/program files (x86)/turbotax, & the system said i could only create the folder in my xyz(user-name) directory. (I have auto-updates enabled.) What changed?!
Is there a system tweek I can make that's general enough to prevent ALL "Admin Privilege" problems for me? If not, is there ONE workaround that I can use to fix all Admin Priv situations as they occur? If not, how can I place the new folder I want in the directory above so I can download my new Turbo Tax pgm? I don't know much about system-level workings & hope i don't need to deal with a unique workaround for each specific Admin Priv problem I'll encounter.
Please be as specific as possible, as at best I'm an "advanced novice" with my new system. THANKS IN ADVANCE. I desperately need my turbo tax to make financial decisions before year end!
