I have a hard drive that was used exclusively with Windows XP (in an admin account) formatted with NTFS. I recently put the 320GB hard drive into my Vista machine, and I'm having a lot of UAC prompts doing almost anything basic on that drive.
I have the folder D:\Images\DenPC\ and inside that DenPC folder are files and subfolders. Each subfolder contains other files. I tried to "take ownership" of the folder Images by following this instruction: Take Ownership.
At Step 14, instead of highlight Administrators in the "Group or user names," I chose my account name (Home). I also put a check mark on "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects."
I can now freely modify any file and folder inside the folder Images. The problem is if I try to copy in or move out a file from within DenPC to another folder inside DenPC, I get a UAC prompt every single time. It gets to me after moving ten files (there are many more to be sorted) = ten UAC prompts
.
Example:
Say I have a file in D:\Images\DenPC\summervacation.jpg and I want to move it to D:\Images\DenPC\20070605\, then I will get a UAC prompt. But if I create a folder or copy a file from elsewhere (say Desktop) to folder 20070605, then I DON'T get a UAC prompt.
Is there anyway I can set permissions for Images such that any operation I do within it and all its subfolders and files without getting an UAC prompt?
