Cannot copy files to C drive on Windows 7

By | September 12, 2017

If you are using Windows 7, or even 8 and get a message that you cannot save a file to c drive then try doing this:

1. Run->secpol.msc
2. Local Policies->Security Options.
3. Set “User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode” to Disable.
4. Restart the computer.

This should do the trick.
