I think I have the 1.8.7 version. I have a shortcut for it on my desktop, but every time I click on the icon it gives me this message: "Problem copying the file with the following error code: 5". I've tried turning off and restarting my computer, but I still can't open it. Someone please help me. I'm not exactly computer savvy so you'll have to explain it to me in detail.
I can't launch my Minecraft?

Error code 5, if Windows, indicates a security problem. Try running the shortcut "As Administrator". You can usually change the properties of the shortcut as well, to mark it to run as administrator.

I tried that, it didn't work.
