Im using Windows 8 for very first time & I installed & activated windows 8.1 pro. & created Administrator local account but still windows 8.1 gives me access denied for most of the task (even for editing text file i have to run notepad as admin by right click option & open the file from notepad) how can i get rid of that annoying "access denied" popup in main Login ID. Some time internet connection get 651 error.

OS - Windows 8.1 Pro x64

note - I turned off UAC by pulling slider all the way down at the very first boot.

Where is the text file you're trying to edit? Despite the name, Administrators don't technically get access to everything.
