Windows Explorer - administrator permission?

Question

on my C drive, in my Data Files, i'm trying to make a new folder and move some files into it from where they are currently.

i can make the folder fine. no issues there.

but when i drag the files into the folder, it says "you'll need administrator permission to move to this folder.". i click "ok", and it comes up with a message saying "if you started this click continue", which i do. (this isn't unusual - it does this for other things)

but then, it comes up with "you need permission to perform this action". clicking "try again" returns the same message; clicking "cancel", obviously, cancels it.

any ideas?

go to Control Panel and open User Accounts and make yourself an administrator under add or remove account

You might be the Administrator but are you using a User Account to do it. If so, that's why you need permission.

If you are the only one using the computer then there is no point in using a separate User Account.
