administrator

Hi guys,

Is there a quick way to give the local administrator full rights to all folders on the C drive? I am having really hard time with that, I try to give it full rights to some folders (user profiles) but I can't even modify the NTFS permissions in some cases, I get "permission denied"

Is there some soft of tutorial or script that will just give the administrator full rights on all folders in the C driver?

Many thanks for your help!
