Windows 8.1 - can't save file to c:\Windows

Microsoft has increased out of the box security of Windows 8.1

By default user even as local admin does not have Full Control on some system folders like c:\Windows.

You can google solution like this:

Yet this didn't gave me all answers.

Follow these steps:

1. On folder you wish right click
2. Select Security
3. Select Advanced
4. On the top change owner to yourself:     domain\username
5. Apply
6. Repeat step 1.
7. Edit
8. Locate yourself in user list and give Full control
