Permission on extracting into windows media file

[CPT_Karter]

Hi there,

So my issue is that i have a certain file that i wish to extract in to the windows media file being C:\Windows\Media via 7-Zip.  However when i try to do it, a window pops up saying

Access is denied.

Can not create output directory.

For other people i havent heard that they have had this issue putting this file in there. Iv looked into my permissions and my windows account is the main admin account so i can't see why it won't let me put the file in. Anyone who can help would be great.

Cheers!

Try opening 7-ZIP as admin and try it then, or you could just extract it elsewhere and move it to where you need it to be.

You need administrative permissions to add things into your Windows folder

Open up 7-zip as administrator and you should have no issues

cheers
