Hi I changed all the ownership privileges on the C drive as far as I was concerned, but when I tried to save a .txt file to C: I couldn't. I kept on getting "File does not have a required client privilege". Not quite certain what I have to do next. Do I have to audit it or...? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, According to the error message, that seem your account do not have full privilege in C drive. Please make sure your account is a member of Administrators. Then right click C drive, go to security, check if Administrators group have full control permission on C drive. If the issue persists, try to create another administrator account and login in to see if the same issue occurs. Hope that helps.

Then you'll be able to save the .txt file to the root drive, which in your case, is C:\.MowGreen Windows Expert IT Pro - Consumer Security *-343-* FDNY NEVER FORGOTTEN
