Guest Froglips Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Mike, So every time I need to write to my hard drive I need to right click the program (not the shortcut) and launch as administrator? Great solution!

Right-click -> Properties -> Security. If its the system drive you're referring to however I'd suggest not changing anything and saving into user-specific locations, like the users folder. -- Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK.
