You speak as an experienced user. I think user restrictions were built around the fact that when people first started experiencing computers in the lives, they **cking washed them with soap to clean them and wondered why they wouldn't work afterwards. Or hit them with hammers to get a unit that wasn't meant to fit in a slot in its place. They figured that stupidity would eventually reach the software level and they were right when the first people started deleting system32 because others told them it's a virus.

Do not underestimate humans. We are leashed for our own good Tongue

it's actually NOT a bug, the truth is that you can downgrade UAC entirely, and UAC was created to prevent botnets from happening. Virus creators are crafty, the package them with legit apps and shadow install to windows, and runs in every reboot, modifying the registry. UAC was created to "request" the write, a lot of applications are for 7/8 and do these requests, PCSX2 was not created FOR win7/8 thus has errors writing changes.

will windows even let you delete those folders. i know you could from a linux distro. anyways if you delete something as important as system32 because you read its a virus, then you should be banned from owning a pc

Classic.

Also, this thread derailed quite nicely.

Ah, it never crossed my mind that it was a permissions issue. Ran it as administrator and started just fine. Windows 8 is rather silly with the whole permission thing..

Case closed Smile

If running as admin fixed it, it sounds like your PCSX2 directory is somewhere where Windows doesn't like programs to be modifying things (e.g. the 'Program Files' directory), as refraction mentioned.

+1 also if I'm not the one with access then who the heck does?
