In reply to FrostyNinja's post on July 26, User's post on July 27, All i wanted to do was reinstall iTunes.. In reply to FrostyNinja's post on July 30, Okay, progress, maybe. I went into the Administrator account and used it to delete Skype which i still can't do to iTunes and re downloaded it. It still locked me out when it was done, but i took ownership, set permisions, and now it works on my User Admin account.
So i still have to ask, what's the issue i'm having with iTunes if the same problem was solved by replacing the Skype folder? And why i was able to access Skype, but not iTunes. In reply to FrostyNinja's post on August 3, New update, again Is this a specific problem with an Apple iTunes update or something, or is this still Vista?
Someone please answer. This has been up for over two months. Shawn Joyner. You may have found a work around with your iTunes issue since it was soo long ago but in case you or others need to know Windows blocks Administrators from doing certain things by default.
Unfortunately, up until the release of Windows Vista it was common for software to be developed on the assumption that the user running it would be an administrator, and administrators would have full access to the system at all times. So today there is still a lot of software out there which makes this assumption. The game you are running seems to be developed with this assumption, and the long-term solution to your problem is that the game developer should modify the software to make the user experience better - then Windows won't complain so much and you won't have to make the sorts of changes to your system's security which are not recommended.
There are other ways to address problems like this one, without making significant changes to your system's security, but they usually require a lot of research and configuration at a lower system level than you might be comfortable doing. I don't know the name of the game you are using but searching online for this issue for that particular game title might give you detailed steps. As an example of what I mean, for a long time Intuit's Quickbooks application would not run without administrator rights.
But the solution was very simple - it turns out that it only required access to be able to modify a file inside the Quickbooks folder within Program Files. By granting an ordinary user access to modify this very limited location, the application would run fine and the system would still be nearly as secure as it was before the change. In many cases the application you are using really only requires an ability to access a few specific files or registry keys and by opening up the access on these specific system resources you might be able to avoid big security changes.
Microsoft provides a tool which can be used to try to determine exactly what access is needed Process Monitor but this tool is difficult for most people to use. Making these sorts of fine-grained changes is not always possible or practical, but it might be worth pursuing either here on Superuser or with the game vendor's support team.
