I don't use Windows 7 but a buddy of mine does. I made a program in VB.NET and I install it to the program files folder. It goes to access files from there (because I'm not advanced enough to do it internally), and he's getting an error that he's got insufficient rights to access the file(s). I'm told it's because he doesn't have administration rights to the folder.

I remember a while ago someone gave me a program that gave me instant admin rights to any folder in Vista, I was wondering if there was something like that for Windows 7? And if not, how would he go about changing it so that he's admin?

well for one he has to be on an Administrator account

If, he is then you will have to take ownership of the folder

Right-click the folder | select "properties" | go to the "security" tab | click "advanced" | "owner" tab | "edit" | select his account from the list | "check" the check box bellow ("replace owner on subcontainers and objects") Also make sure that he has full permission...
