Sometimes when I move directories the resulting directory needs to be modified under the security tab to add the "Authenticated Users" user in order to remove the lock icon. I've verified that I am the owner of the directory...and the other users with access to the directory is "System", My Account and "domain/Administrators".
View 1 RepliesThis is my work laptop. I have my standard Music library, which is a directory directly off the C drive. When I download or move into that "Music" directory the directory I moved has a lock icon on it. In order to get rid of the icon, I need to add "Authenticated Users" to the list of groups, and then I need to take ownership of the directory under my account in order to to do anything. If this directory is in my download directory, it's fine...but as soon as I move it there the above situation arises.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy hard drive has two partitions. The second partition - D - contains only data files (documents, pictures, etc.) My computer has 3 users - myself and two others. I am an Administrator and the other two are Standard Users.
The root of D has three folders:
D:user1 (that's me)
D:user2
D:user3
The NTFS permissions on each user's folders are as follows:
Administrators - Full Control
SYSTEM - Full Control
user - Full Control
This prevents the Standard Users from accessing anyone else's data but their own, while maintaining the right of Administrators (like me) to access everybody's data.
The NTFS permissions on the root of D (only) are as follows:
Administrators - Full Control
SYSTEM - Full Control
Authenticated Users - Read and Execute
If Authenticated Users does not have NTFS permissions on the root of D, I am denied access to D, even though I am an Administrator.If I double-click on the drive icon I get an 'Access Denied' message. However, if Authenticated Users is included in the NTFS permissions, I can open D by double-clicking on the drive icon.Why can't I access the root of D as an Administrator ... why does Authenticated Users need permissions?
I was checking my C: permissions panel and saw that authenticated users had special privileges. being on a home network with room mates I do not want any of them to have access to my computer or files. I disabled sharing in windows 7, My question is:How do I find out who are in this "authenticated users" group??
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure how to remove the lock icon over some of my folders. It appear if I share one of my folder with the Homegroup and unshare it later. I think it is because when I share it with my homegroup, the Everyone/Cooperation (I'm not sure to use the good word, I'm using the french version) option disapear and I can't add it anymore.By default :Once shared and unshared : (can't add Everyone - Cooperation, which cause I presume the lock on the folder)My only option is to share it again with the Homegroup or with Everyone with Read instead of Cooperation. I don't want this folder to be shared anymore.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi set up an OU in AD that contains shortcuts to various shares on various servers. instead of having 10+ shortcut icons on their desktops, my w2k users could access all network shortcuts from one shortcut. plus, when the location of a share moves to a different server, i don't have to delete old shortcuts and create new ones on 30+ desktops. in xp, the directory icon went away so i couldn't create a shortcut to the OU. i discovered copying the dsfolder.dll icon to xp fixed the problem. can a desktop shortcut to an OU be achieved in Windows 7?

For some reason, when changing users to my wife's profile, the desktop has to be prepared each time - as a temporary profile. The folder location has moved from Users/wife to Users/Users/wife and has a lock icon on it. I have tried moving the entire folder as administrator and received a not responding message.Short of a restore in which I will lose data is there a way to 'import' her profile under a new user and then delete the corrupted profile?
