Cannot copy to program files.

Hey guys, jsut a quick question:
How can I copy executable files to my program files. The security thing in vista will not allow me to do so, any help will be great.

have a go on doing this on the file you are going to use:

right click on file
click properties
click security
click advanced
click owner in top tabs
click edit
highlight the user you want and click apply/ok

This should then allow you to do what you want with that file!

Tried every single thing like that, doesn't work. Blasted windows vista won't let me copy, change, delete or add files to Program Files folder
cheers

maybe trying the procedure i mentioned earlier over the icon of the actual C: drive-that may give you total control

Sounds like a permissions issue. Try doing the same thing logged in as Administrator.
