Hi everyone,
We have a couple of new computers at home running Windows 7; (yeah, Windows/Mac/Linux arguments, but that’s what we have..) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) and I’ve run into the TRUSTEDINSTALLER problem. Does anyone know how (or if it’s even possible) to set up an account with Administrator-Administrator privilege rather than the Administrator-Normal privileges that are usually assigned? For those not familiar with this “ENHANCEMENT” in Vista 64 and Win 7-64, an Administrator does not own certain systems, folders and applications in the computer, they are owned by a ‘service’ named TRUSTEDINSTALLER. This is done supposedly to keep uninformed users from doing something deadly to their computer, but it means that even the Administrator can’t do certain things. There are methods of taking ownership of these systems/folder/apps, but apparently this taking ownership does not percolate down through all of the nested folders and sub-folders so you have to do this for dozens if not hundreds of individual items. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (yeah, I know, Windows/Mac/Linux arguments…) There are probably even a large number of things you can’t take ownership of at all because you can’t access them to a level where you can take ownership. When you go into your User Account an Administrator sees that he/she/it (let’s be politically correct here…) has a ‘Normal’ level of access (as an administrator). There is an ‘Administrator’ (Administrator-Administrator????) level, but when you select it the APPLY button grays out and you can’t process the change. Any help out there? I’ve done a bit of internet searching but all I’ve come up with is the taking ownership resolution. Thanks, |
