I have a fresh system with Windows 7. I have an admin account. I cannot set ownership or permissions on a file contained in a USB drive that I brought over from another XP system. I saw some suggestions to start a control panel with run as rights but could not find the run as option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to change permissions so I can delete my default "Dropbox" folder from my C drive. I can't figure this out; the "objects" menus and all that are beyond me. If I try to delete it says I have to change permissions....I tried, but I don't get it at all. Can someone just give me a step-by-step? I know it's complicated, because you can't see the way it was set up originally by the guy who built my computer....I just need to delete that folder so I can start over fresh!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my laptop with an SSD, and I have 2 HD bays so I put the 500GB drive in the second one for storage. I went to move all My Documents, My Music, etc folders to my storage drive by right clicking, properties, location tab, changing the letter to D:, telling it to create the folder and move the contents. The only problem is it littered my user folder with folders Music, Pictures, Videos, etc in addition to the normal "My (insert media type here)" folders. The folders it made when I did that I don't even have permissions to see who has permission for those folders. They're clogging up my user folder (visually at least), and I can't open, delete, mark as hidden, or anything. I can't even restore the default locations for My Music, etc cause it says I don't have permission.
How do I get rid of all the extra stuff it made for no reason?
Create a shared folder with full access on your network.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI dont know how many times you've been asked this, but as i look at other threads i'm not finding suitable answers. I have a brand new iMac with Windows 7 in parallel. I cant move ANYTHING. And not system files, i'm talking music and movies that been on my WD external for years - i cant move from portable-portable or portable to HD, which is ridiculous! Windows keeps asking for administator control - which i am, as the only user on my com. No method i've had explained to me makes this simple. C'mon guys, not technospeak, no 130 IQ requirement, just tell me what i gotta do to move files, 1 or 100, from one place to another
View 1 Replies View RelatedI ignored the warning that permissions may not allow me to make changes because I thought I had all the correct boxes checked. Now I cannot see my C-drive because I don't have permission. I can no longer get into the permissions folder or anything else to make changes. Can the files that control this be deleted without destroying the whole registry?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI get pretty tired of Vista and all this permissions stuff. I was testing out a file in different OS versions. I was working with it in Windows 7 Pro. For easy of use I moved the file over to the Windows 7's C Drive.Booted into Vista. I needed to make a quick change to the file. I go to Save the changes and I get another one of Vista's messages (that I probably never read) about you don't have permissions to save. I was like sure I do I'm Admin on my Computer (who cares what OS I'm in). The computer didn't answer me, which is probably good, because it would be laughing now. So I'm in Vista and I right click on the Windows 7 drive and I give myself permissions to acess the Drive. I'm not sure if that moved to all the sub folders or not.I get into Windows 7 and now Windows 7 Doesn't have access to the its own C Drive. I try to give it permissions like 3 or 4 times and it shows it should have permission but nothing happens. (I get an error message when trying to created a file in the C drive in Windows 7)I better go back into Vista and take off any permissions for that drive. Guess what? I do that. In vista I take any owner or permission off for the Windows 7 Drive. Now I'm back into Windows 7 and I can't even access the C Drive? I can't even access the permissions for the drive?How do I go about restoring Windows 7 permissions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot a big deal and kind of humorous but on my Win 7 PC I have administrator access.But there are times the computer says I don't have access to do a particular function and that I need Admin access to do the task, even though I am the one logged in and have administrator access.I guess I could generate another account and give admin access and see if that works but was just wondering if there was something weird about a setting.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy husband and I have been trying to get pictures from our camera (Fuji FinePix S3400) to the computer with the supplied USB lead. WE have been able to do so by taking the SD card and shoving it into the computer but we can't do so with the lead which we prefer to do. It seems wrong that we can't do that! With lots of going into all jigging around into files and setting we keep getting the message, "Access is Denied". We have even got into security of the folder and put in "Authenticated Users". We have an Acer that was bought with Vista and then converted to Win 7.

When I have them installed, however, all of the non-admin accounts keep getting a string of 5-6 admin password requests to allow the programs to make changes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI changed my user account to the Windows 7 Super Admin account because I am easily annoyed when a computer tries to lock me out of areas :P I am completely okay with this and have no issues. However, many people keep telling me all about how this is a very bad thing to do, e.g.if I get a virus the virus has full control of my system. I dont disagree with this and I can understand it, I just find the benefits of super admin outweigh the risk considering I generally know what I am doing, how to avoid viruses, etc.
I have considered though swapping back to a regular admin account and enabling UAC, however there is so much data, programs installed, program preferences, etc stored on my user, last time I changed it was about a month before things were back to normal. Does anyone know how I could just change the permissions of my current account (the super admin account)?
on my root folder under apache web server, i give the permisseion to the computer name only. so now no one including me or the admin can open the folder! and i got (forbedden access) when trying to access localhost or my webpage under apache.is there any way to restore previous permissions ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am configuring a newly built computer with Win 7 (fresh, new full install) Pro. All had been going well until I tried to install Zone Alarm and found problems with it accepting and registering the license. After a couple of chat sessions, things pointed to Permissions issues. At that point, I did some reading and discovered that my default Administrator account was not active, so I ran commands to fix that. That still did not allow me to delete some of the Zone Alarm folders or to have the license "stick" in the registry.

View 4 Replies View RelatedComputer 1 is Windows 7 with HP printer attached via USB.Computer 2 is XP accessing printer via wireless lan.There are 4 profiles on the XP machine, 2 admins - 2 non-admin.The 2 admins on this machine can print to the printer, no problem.The 2 non-admins can't use the printer unless they first access the Windows 7 machine by entering an admin password. I don't want the 2 non-admins to do this (my children), and I don't want to add them as admins on the Windows 7 machine.Surely it's possible to share the printer on the Windows 7 machine without them having admin privileges.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is the problem:
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 and don't have any permissions on C:
Like for example i cant change or delete anything from Program files (x86) or Program Files! Folder Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action.
I am administrator on my system, and i even tried Built-in Administrator Account, still no permissions, same as my normal admin account, if i try to take ownership i get ERROR: Access is denied, same on both admin accounts.
I read many threads on this forum but no help for my problem, i really need to fix this cause this is my studio pc and i cant setup some software needed for my production because of permissions I never seen this problem before, i have used windows 7 as administrator on my other computers and they all work normaly.
Today, I upgraded to 7 on my Asus laptop with the free upgrade that came in the mail. After launching World of Warcraft I noticed a problem, that some of the subfolders in the installation had no permissions assigned to them, and as such the program couldn't access them. I also noticed that various other folders on my hard drive had missing permissions. I can right click on the specific folders and go to security and add permissions to them, but any subfolders that have the same problem come up as access denied when I try to apply the settings.
The same thing happens if I try to modify the permissions on the root drive (C, it starts modifying permissions of the subfolders and files but once it hits one that has blank permissions it says access denied. How can I set the permissions on all the folders at once?
I'd like to share a folder only for a certain user on a LAN. I'm on Windows 7-hp and the user is on XP-h. But when I go to assign permissions, the Location field only allows choices from my Windows 7 machine. If I put the XP user's name in directly, it flags that error.The Windows 7 user is an admin, and I've tried this with both an XP admin and user account.Surely there is some way to do this? Or alternatively, is there some way to do this via subnets?
