ICACLS (Make Permissions On All Files)

Sep 27, 2008

Ive been trying to figure out a way to use the ICACLS command to give permissions to a test user and have them apply to all files in the directory. I know I can use a wild card but that only effects files in the folder at the time the command is executed. I have also tried using /inheritance:e as one of the arguments but it still doesnt seem to work. Can someone give me an example of how I would give the user 'Admin' full control of the directory 'c:perm test' without a wildcard. (Including all files in that dir)

Network Sharing Permissions: Access Files On Either PC From Either PC

Mar 8, 2009

I posted this in general, but it does not appear there so I am posting it here too. I have a desktop PC with VISTA and a laptop with VISTA. The DT is connected to a router via a cable. The laptop is connected to the router via wireless. I have set all permissions that I can find and share wherever I can find. I can't access files on either PC from either PC. I get the message "Windows can not access \Lu-PCC" or what ever folder I try to access. I can get into the folder alled "public", but my files are not in that folder on either PC. The permissions for Lu-PCC is everyone full control, change and read

Permissions: Relocate Files, Control Checkbox Is Unchecked

Apr 24, 2008

I am getting increasingly frustrated with the pemissions. Last time I asked about this on this NG, I was told that I was probably trying to make a change that I shouldn't make. I was not. I am not now. I own the computer and I am trying to relocate files that I have created myself. The User Accpount Control checkbox is unchecked. I can't believe this restriction exists as default for the ordinary off-the-shelf computer. What can I do? PS On a different - but ultimately related - issue (formatting an external HDD) I have just been told by my computer that I do not have 'sufficient rights' to perform such an operation. What society are we living in, Maoist China, or something.

Permissions

Oct 20, 2009

When I try to run QuickTime I get an Error -2095 alert. When I click Run As Administrator it opens OK.I am the owner and sole user of the computer. How do a give full permissions to myself?I tried going to the program file, opening properties and then the Permissions tab. There are 3 entries in the top window:

SYSTEM
Administrator (EUSTACE PCAdminstrators)
Users (EUSTACE PCUsers)

When I click the last, in the lower window I see checked only Read & Execute and Read, not Full control and the others.

I clicked Edit, and added checkmarks to everything (except Special Permissions that I can't).

I click OK and return to the former dialog, but the permissions for Users have not changed.

When I click Advanced I see 4 lines. Lines 2 and 3 are System and Administrator. Lines 1 and 4 are:

Allow Users (EUSTACE PCUsers) Full Control
Allow Users (EUSTACE PCUsers) Read & Execute C:Program Files

Is the second line necessary?

If I highlight it and click Edit and then highlight it again and click Edit, check Full control, OK, the dialog closes and in the first dialog the line 1 is highlighted and line 4 is the same.

Permissions, UAC Off

Apr 22, 2009

it seems that I have managed to lock myself into a corner here and I am hoping some of you gents can pull me out w/o loosing any body limbs. I have a very special folder, within that folder I have a few files and, until recently, they were working. I decided to try a script to hide the folder so nobody could get to it. After a new build, the script did not work anymore so I decide not to bother with it anymore. the problem is that now that I want to move the folder to my external passport drive, I am getting the following 2 permission pop ups and I can't, for the life of me, make this happen.

I have tried turning the UAC off, tried elevating myself to the highest, I have taken ownership of the folder and the Drive where the folder resides, I have also given me full access of the folder and the files and still, I am getting the dreaded errors. Before attempting to open my case and take the drive out to be used as an external usb/sata drive on my XP laptop in hopes that this will allow me to get it (I am thinking it won't).

Program Permissions

Jun 2, 2008

I have 2 situations here but I think they are related.

1. I have a couple programs that every time I go to start them I get "A program needs your permission to continue"I have to click "continue" so they will run.

2. i have several programs that on their desktop icons have the "Firewall Shield" on them. (shield divide into 4 colors)

How do I get the shields to go away?

How do I get the "need permission" message to stop coming up?

Overriding Permissions

Jan 1, 2009

I've got a program that starts up when the computer does, or so I've told Vista a thousand times. It still blocks it every time I reboot the computer. How can I set a permission for the thing to run all the time? I can't seem to find where to do that either... I can find my way to the window that shows what's permitted and what's not, but I can't edit them. I'm logged in as an administrator, so I should be able to, but Vista's being overly protective (really, I have a mother for that ). Why is it doing this to me?

Deletion Permissions

Aug 1, 2009

I'm in the habit of deleting everything that goes into my downloads folder within my user folder because having a bunch of installers sitting there is pointless. Recently, however,whenever I attempt to delete any of these installers within my downloads folder,it tells me that "I need to permission to perform this action." These files can't be in use by anything and as administrator I don't see why it suddenly will not allow me to delete this things after I've been doing it for months.If I restart the computer,it WILL let me delete these things.But never before that.

Help! Horrible Experience With Permissions

May 15, 2010

I seem to suddenly have lost capability to do various things with my PC (I am admin, Vista still correctly displays that I am admin). For instance I can no longer send/receive emails from my Outlook 2003. It says "you don't have appropriate ermissions to perform this operation".

From time to time it complains that extend.dat has disappeared whereas this is not true, it is still to be found under "C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook".

I have ensured ownership and full control under my username of C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftOutlook as well as C:UsersGregoireApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook.

I have also copied my Outlook.pst file to OutlookWhiteKnight.pst and redirected my inbox and mail delivery to this but TO NO AVAIL.

Of course if I turn User Access Control off it works fine again but that's a bit overstretched and surely there is a way to go back to the previous state without killing UAC.

Other things that have happened is I lost my ability to scan, ability to copy certain files from my wife's account to our archive and other sweets like this.

Ah and one last element of detail is that my wife does not have the problem and she is a standard user.

What I *suspect* the initial cause might be is that I have installed a security sweeper from my remote-access website from my employer and it probably messed up with the dtcom config but that's where my knowledge stops. I checked the config the INTERACTIVE user was there (don't ask me what that is, I found that following some threads on google and various websites). I have of course a proper helpdesk from work but they claim it's not their fault and that it can't possibly be because I am the first to report such a problem amongst many users and that as per policy they won't help me with my personal laptop etc etc. Anyway that suspicion itself as to the cause won't help me much.

C:/ Drive Have Lost Permissions To Run

Nov 1, 2009

I have searched over the lands of google and these forums and I have come across similar yet not the same problem as mine. It seems that files and folders across my C:/ drive have lost permissions to run. Also, some new files that are created by programs can be not able to run because they are created without permissions.

When clicked upon, they say I do not have permission to run or move etc. I can change this manually by going into properties and owners and changing it. I have no idea why these files are being created without an owner or permissions and I cant seem to get this to stop.

Tired Of UAC And Folder Permissions?

Feb 25, 2010

What you do is reformat your hard drive. Create your account. When Vista loads click start in the search bar type cmd the right click cmd and click run as dminstrator. then in the cmd prompt type this Net user administrator /active:yes. Once you do that it activates the Hidden Administrator account on Vista. Log off your current account. log into the hidden administrator account. delete the account you made by going to Users in the control panel. Once you do this you can change the name of the Administrator account on your Vista OS. This fixes the UAC and keeps it from coming up every time you install something. It also cancels out the file permissions as well. so that way you can do anything you want with your computer.

Share Permissions For Folders

Sep 16, 2009

My home TV service (AT&T U-Verse) allows for the playing of songs from a networked PC, over the TV and thus over the TV's sound surround speakers. For this to work, I need to allow all of my music folders/files to be shared. My music collection is housed in Itunes, which creates a folder for each artist, and sub folders for each album. I have about 4,000 songs, and 385 artists. "Beneath" these 385 folders for the artists, there is approximately another 700-800 sub folders. All of these folders/files are "not shared". How can I change all of the folders & files to "shared" WITHOUT having to do each one individually?

Can't Delete Virus Due To 'permissions'

Jan 10, 2010

I've done a full computer scan and it only found a couple of files. I know the exact time when I got it, so I've been scouting around my C:/ and I've found quite a few exe (and other type) files which are part of it. However I can't delete them due to 'permissions'. My standard task manager has been made invisible when I do CtrlAltDel but using sofware explorer I found a load of virus tasks set to run on startup and currently running, these I can end, but they just come back after a minute or so.

Security Center And Program Permissions

May 9, 2010

I'm trying to help out my sister on her laptop (Compaq Vista 32bit). Here are the problems:

Can not access Windows Security Center.. It comes up on the tool bar red with the X. When you try to open it either off the tool bar or even through the Control Center you get: A "open with" window to select the program to open "rundll32.exe". I have tried the tutuorial on this site to change security center from disabled to automatic, this did not work, it defaults back to disabled. Will not start up the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus program automatically on startup. You must manaul start and either run as adminstrator to start or go through the "open with window" process. All program starts require to go through the "open with window" approach and some that does not work and you need to right click on the program and "run as administrator" to start the program (i.e. intenet exployer). I have manually run Microsoft Security Essentials and removed numerous virus and trojans.

I am familar with XP and Windows 7, not Vista...

Spool Folder Permissions/hidden

Sep 8, 2008

We have two fairly new vista 64sp1 machines. We are using a monitor cal program that on one machine will write the color profile to the system32/spool/drivers/color directory without a problem. The program on the other machine will not. I can browse from the cal programs and on one machine I can see the spool directory and the other I can't. Though I can see most of the other folders in system32.

The other clue is I can see the spool directory with WINDOWS explorer on both machines. But with INTERNET explorer 7 I can only see the spool directory on the good machine. I can also see the spool directory with programs like Thunderbird on one machine, but not the other. But programs like notepad are ok on both.

The spool folder permissions appear to be the same on both and I have tried unhiding folders and even superhidden folders with no luck. I have also tried running the program as admin and compatibility modes. I have spent two days trying to fix this and if anyone has an idea how to fix this it would be great.

Permissions, Notepad Wouldn't Save

Mar 3, 2009

I have a program that installs as a subfolder of the Program Files (x86) folder. Inside the main folder of the application is a file, SpecDat.xxx. The application, when run, needs to change this file. If I run this application from an administrator account, it comes back with a Error '53': File Not Found error. After some extended debugging by both me and the author, we discovered it wasn't updating this file.

When I tried to update this file manually using Notepad, Notepad wouldn't save it either. After more research, I ran the application by right-clicking and selecting "run as an administrator". Now it works, even though I'm always running it from an administrator account.

Cannot Delete File Effective Permissions

Mar 28, 2008

Occasionally Vista and its permission handling really drives me nuts: I needed to replace a certain .exe file in a subdirectory of "C:Program Files" but for some, to me unexplainable, reason Vista at first did not let me delete the old version.

The file was owned by "Administrators" of which I am a member. When I checked "Effective Permissions" of that file for my user-id I had ALL necessary permissions (including "Full Control", "Delete" and "Take Ownership"). However, if I tried to delete the file or take ownership, then I got errors that I don't have the necessary permission. Only after I added my user-id explicitly to the file's permission list and gave me "Full Control" , then I was able to delete the file. Why was it not enough that I am of user type "Administrator" and also member of the "Administrators"-group?

Controlling Permissions For User Accounts

Modified Permissions As A Result Of Virus.

Mar 23, 2010

I was recently victim to a malware attack on my computer, quite a few nasty rogues. Included ave.exe, irz.exe, Ikydua.exe, Ikydub.exe, Ikyduc.exe, Ikydud.exe, and many many more. They would launch whenver I tried to open any application that the viruses thought could be used against them. Anyways, I finally reclaimed control of my computer and quarantined and deleted all of the bad exes and registry keys. However, my permissions are still messed up from the attack. For example, I can no longer open regedit or merge .reg files.

Also, I believe the attack originated from somebody using an IP sniffer on an internet forum and specifically targeting my IP. I talked to some friends who's IPs were also compromised, and they said that they were attacked at around the same time. So, is there any way I can change my external IP to avoid future attacks? I'm hooked up via a cable modem.
