Windows 7 Home Edition says I don't have permission to move, copy, or rename certain files. What can I do about that?

I don't have permission? $#^% YOU! I am SICK of my computer telling ME that I don't have permission to move, rename, or do whatever I damn well please with files.

What can I do about this? I don't ever want to run into this problem again. I don't care if it opens my computer up to risks. I'll accept them. What should have been a simple cut and paste operation has now taken hours of my time and frustrated me to no end. I'm half tempted to dig up my old copy of XP. I don't remember ever having problems like this before.
