so new computer is annoying me. i'm showing up as an admin when i look in the settings, but when i try to save something to the C drive under, say, Program Files it's telling me i don't have the proper admin settings to save to that folder. how do i fix this?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If I'm not planning to buy MS Office, does it make sense to just uninstall the trial version that came on the computer? Is there any reason not to do that?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What OS, tiggy?

Does anyone use Hootsuite? Does it really help keep track of Twitter, FB, WPress and all that?

Yeah, I would uninstall, Jesse. It's just taking up space and won't be usable.

Does anyone know a plug-in widget that would let me (a) put an image in a sidebar and/or (b)change text fonts, size and color in a sidebar?
I've tried using the HTML widget, and I get no love.
It's for Wordpress.org, btw.
(Also, did sign up for Hootsuite, and so far, it's getting a YAY! from me!)

Don't know about WP, but yes to Twitter and Facebook.

It only keeps tracks of WP.com, and not WP.org, but that's no big.
Dudes, I am earning SO MUCH GEEK CRED in the last two weeks!

So, when you try to save a file to the c: drive, do you get a message saying please give admin credentials, or does it just say you can't do it at all?
Is UAC turned on or off?
