Cannot write files to drives in Vista?

Vista UAC is getting on people's nerves every time they want to do something as simple as writing to a drive. When a drive, whether it is internal or external, was created under XP, by default everyone has access to it because of XP's relatively lax access restriction policy. Vista changes all that because in Vista, you are not really the root user (super admin) when you are the admin. This idea was taken from Unix and is found in Linux and MacOSX. So to fix the problem of you as the "admin" should be able to write to a drive that you were able to access in XP, do this.

1.Right-click the drive letter in Explorer and select properties
2.Click the security tab
3.Click "Edit." You will be asked to elevate. Remember, until you do you are still in admin approval mode and for all practical purposes you are not an admin
4.Select "Users" and check the Modify box
5.Click OK enough times to get back to where you were.
