Writing File to \Windows\System32 denied. Workaround?
This may be in the wrong section of the forum. If so, I apologize.
I have changed the icons on my desktop to get rid of the shortcut arrow. That worked fine except that the icon now has a small outline where the arrow should be. I have a blank.ico file that I used in Windows 7 to get rid of the shortcut arrow. It has to go into C:\Windows\System32...
Windows will not allow me to paste the file into that folder, citing a permissions issue. I am unable to change permissions on the folder. I am the Administrator of the PC. I have searched the forum for a tutorial or a thread on this topic, but didn't find anything.
I know that Windows 10 has heightened security on the Windows system files, but is there a workaround?
