I tried to change the name of a folder (a music folder, nothing important) but it keeps giving me the "You need permission to perform this action" error. I have my account set as admin, so I thought something was wrong. I tried changing the security properties by right-clicking the folder and allowed full access to all the groups/user names shown, but it still gave me the message. The folder is not really that important, but I would like to know how to fix it for future reference in case I come across this problem when I'm editing more important folders.

-.- Nevermind, I found out what the problem was. I was playing a song within the folder, but it was paused so I forgot that it was being used. Stopped the song and I was able to change the folder's name. Haha, I feed dumb.
