I don't see how that's relavent to writing files or folders to root owned locations at all. Not to mention who uses Winbloz anymore anyway. THis is an Ubuntu forum. LOL
True, I still keep my stuff on NTFS partitions because I don't like getting insulting error messages like, "Only root can do that" or "access denied", etc.
You may think it's your computer and your files but in fact there is a guy named root that owns everything, and they never give out his phone number. So one way out is to keep your work on a Windows NTFS partition. Or like somebody posted above use "gksudo nautilus", that way the OS thinks you're root and lets you copy whatever you want.
Never used gksudo nautilus. Is this something I would install from Synaptic?

No you don't need to install anything. Nautilus is the command to start the file manger. When you precede it with gksudo it starts with administrative privilege. that's all.
