Is your ~/.emacs.d directory on the same drive as the system, i.e. on drive C:\? If so, you will have to take ownership by your user on all of drive C:\, because these problems will keep happening. Most probably your user is either a local Administrator or a member of the Administrators group. In both cases, you will bump into these problems, until you take ownership of every directory you can. My best advice is to have your HOME directory and everything else GNU on a drive different from the system drive -- if you can. Then taking ownership is easier, because there aren't any protected directories, and the level of paranoia of Windows itself about non-system drives is lower. This is basic Windows system setup, nothing to do with Emacs per se.
