Windows 8.1 Why can't I copy or move files on my computer? I can't access files either! When I tried to copy a folder, it said, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this folder"!!! This is MY computer! I'm the only user! Why am I not seen as the admin? How do I change this? I'm being prevented from doing what I need to do on MY OWN computer! If I weren't visually impaired, I'd've gone to Linux a long time ago!
Any help with this will be very much appreciated.

I have the same problem too.. I can't even delete the unwanted file as they need the administrator permission
