Lack of Permissions > As administrator

Grr! My PC is really annoying me! It's my personal PC, built myself, etc. and yet it's constantly telling me I don't have permissions to edit anything. Even simple things such as trying to install a font for some reason the C:\windows\fonts folder is set to read only and yet when i try and uncheck the box it says I don't have permission.

What can I do? Why does it keep doing this for different things? I'm the only one whoever uses this computer so ultimately I'd just like to turn off all security

and allow me to edit everything.

Any help on this would be a GREAT! Thanks!

Thanks for the help, I've just had a look where you mentioned and the current owner says TrustedInstaller, anyone know what that is or why it would be there? I'm applying ownership to the whole of the C:\ so it's going to take while!

Edit: I'm using Vista Ultimate!

When I apply the new owner the first box to ocme up says "An error occured while applying security information to:
C:\pagefile.sys

Access is denied"
