I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and I want to change the permissions in Windows\Temp. For example, I want to remove the read-only attribute in General. When I do this I get an error that reads, "You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes." When I click continue, it does something but the Read-only box is still partially checked. How do I take control of Windows\Temp?

That is because this attribute is inherited from the Windows folder. Unless you mess with the attributes on the Windows folder also - which is a bad idea - i think you're stuck. | |||

You could boot into the computer using a Linux LiveCD and making said folder writeable or just doing whatever options you wanted to do in the folder directly from the LiveCD. | |||
