Hi Rick,
I have a Lenovo T60 running Vista Business. I removed the Symantec/Norton security after I bought it. When I try to save a txt (notepad) file to C:\, I get a small window which says the following: "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission." I am the only user and am administrator. The window is not identified. It is common to get "anonymous" windows and that is a pet peeve of mine.

Next I right clicked on "Notepad" in my startup list, and selected "Run as administrator". Then I was able to save the txt file to c:\. I ran across one other program which didn't work normally unless I "ran as administrator".
