A customer has just been in touch to explain how to change the file permissions for Windows 7.  It seems that the new operating system returns a message saying something to the effect of "speak to your administrator", which naturally is you.

In the words of JC Plumbing, here is how you change it:

  • Go into your Control Panel
  • Go to User Accounts > Make changes to User
  • Click "Change User Account Settings"
  • That should open a menu on the left hand side
  • On the vertical slider, move it to "Never Notify"
  • Click "OK"
  • Then restart for changes to take effect

JC Plumbing felt this may be a useful thing to share with other who are having difficulty with Windows 7.  This is provided as free information.  You may like to consult further guidance before making changes to your system settings.

    I've been having problems with my W7 for a few weeks and being non-technical it was getting frustrating. Thanks for sharing.

    I have some colleagues who have been struggling with Windows 7 lately and think this is excellent. Happily sticking with Windows XP here for now!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Windows XP is our choice too. Feel free to circulate it.
