You must Firstly uncheck the "Use Simple File Sharing" option which is at the bottom of the "Advance Settings" below "View Tab"

you must uncheck simple file sharing..
if the problem persist, your system has virus.. update ur antivirus and do full system scan..

"Use Simple File Sharing" option shows that you are disabling File Sharing between user

@Disc_Junkie
You must give permission to the System because it use to write all important things related to system directly to Default Windows Drive[Here C:drive].

I'm not making you all April Fool.
This helps to provide restriction to user group from writing to C: Drive.
Even Virues which use to write there files directly to C:Drive will be not possible, Untill you make freaky movements without precaution.& Hence your Windows system don't get currupted because of Virues
