Administrator cannot access folders in Windows 7

I have a new computer and I am the administrator. I've implemented a new guest account and he was denied access to a folder. However, the administrator can no longer access this folder at all.

Even when the administrator account can access the folder no files can be read (they are multimedia files).

Is it possible to completely reset the permissions on the folder that the administrator can play once more files.

Denying access to certain users or groups is a bad idea because it can have unintended effects if you are not perfectly familiar with how work ACL. A few days ago that I am involved in a thread that the author did the same thing you did. So far, none of us found a way to restore access to the file in which he asked to "deny".

If your neighbor wants to keep you out of his house, did it install a detection device of the person who is sensitive to you? Not very likely. It does the opposite: hands He carries keys to the people he trusts. You must manage the permissions on the folders in the same way: provides access only to the groups and users who you trust. Forget the others - because they are not in the trusted group they will get any access.

You can try this method to repair the damage you have done:
1 activate the administrator account and password.
2 restart in Safe Mode.
3. log on as an administrator.
4. click on start
5. type the three letters cmd
6. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
7 run the process as an administrator.
8 type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
takeown /f Q:\/a r d y
ICACLS Q:\/t/c/grant administrators: F System: F "%nom user %": F
(Answer "Yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")
(Replace q: with the actual drive letter the problem disk)

  • Cannot access folders shared from the Windows application

    I have the following:

    OS X 10.9 Mavericks

    Fusion 6.0.2

    Windows XP Professional VM

    Windows 7 Edition Premium VM family

    The main reason, I run the VMs is because I have a couple of diving watches that have only (former) Windows software to download their data.  Use a virtual Windows XP machine for some time without problems, I want Windows 7 like XP will soon be out of support.  I have recently implemented the Windows 7 VM, installed the software of the watch and the first time I used the software it worked.  The next time I went to use, applications can access the shared folders *.  I've never had this problem with the XP VM.  I can access shared folders on Windows Explorer.  I also found that if I copy a single file (any file) from a shared folder on the C: drive and then start the application, they are able to access the shared folders.  Obviously, copy the file changes the State of something that depend on windows applications.

    * File open and save dialog boxes include not Z:

    Additional information:

    Windows XP VM - Hardware Version 7 (this virtual machine was originally used with Fusion 3, and I hesitate to upgrade)

    Windows 7 VM - Hardware Version 10

    OK, I think I have determined that the cause of the problem, and it seems that this isn't a problem of merger as such.

    It seems that it was because I was running both Windows applications in compatibility Windows XP (SP3) mode.  In this mode, none of the applications are able to access network drives (and shared folders behave like network drives) until a copy was made with the approval of the admin.  By the granting of the authorization of R/W to the applications, I was able to run in normal mode and now the readers (including folders) network applications appear.

    I was able to reproduce the problem on a netbook, I'm running Windows 7 Starter.

  • Administrator cannot access the different (seemingly random) files

    Windows XP on my desktop computer connected to the home network and regularly synchronized with Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop

    Problem #1

    I'm trying to access the files I often consulted on both computers before and now I'm getting "access is denied; need administrator rights. "I am and have always been the only user of both computers. More confusing still, some of these files does not open, certain opening but cannot be moved; some open but cannot be changed; some can be deleted but not restored (don't even ask), etc. but I can not find a model as to who filed what will do.  The same files work the same way on each computer.

    Problem #2

    How can you sift through and short-list possible solutions?

    I have searched for hours on other sites and found "solutions" posted between 2009 and today 5 hours ago.  I tried most of those I found except those included editing the registry (I'm chicken), which I justified by noting that they rarely worked for someone else than the poster of this solution.

    I have fostered new answers and responses with a large number of positive votes, but I see "solutions" that others say will cause his computer more harm than good even if they worked for some readers, or too technical for me to understand, solutions or solutions that work under a subset of the conditions that I've never heard before...

    Is there a site that usually has the best answers?  Or a person who usually gives the best answers? Or...?

  • Cannot access computers running Windows XP Pro on wireless network.

    3 machines on the wireless network. 1 running Windows 7; 2 running Windows XP Pro.  Previously, I had full access in all directions. No problems.   Now I can't access Pro X machines. Neither the machine, Windows 7, or a XP Pro on the other machine. I can see XP machines in Windows Explorer with the complete display of all shared folders, but when I try to access a file, I get an error message. "\\Tiger\Documents and setting are not available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find the you have permissions to access. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "(This is the message I get when I try to access one of the XP machines on the Windows 7 machine The message on a XP machine when I try to access the other XP is the same, except that the last sentence is "the network path is not found."  I CAN have full access to the Windows 7 machine is XP Pro machines. I checked the properties of sharing on both XP machines, and they seem to be the same when everything worked correctly. I have installed any new program - except the regular updates of Windows and the frequent update of the antivirus of Trend Micro. Any solution?

    Thanks Steven Winograd. I don't know how to frame a search that would have led me to the Article 177078, or that it applies to my problem, once I found it. I may have a new technique, but I CAN follow a recipe from Cookbook to change the IRPStackSize. Increase the value of 15 to 18 solves the problem without a further hiccup. Thanks again.

  • Cannot access folders 'Deleted items' or 'Projects' in Outlook Express / MEM/SP batch

    Impossible to delete e-mails or access folders. Happened about 3 weeks ago and it's a lot of disk space and memory, which are among the possible causes for the inaccesability; When I try to open folders for deleted items and drafts.

    Always tell us "what happens when you try" and error message in its entirety.

    ****************************

    You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

    Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

    ********************************

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • Cannot access Internet on Windows Update

    I recently formatted my computer windows laptop. I'm using Windows 7 Home Basic Edition. After a day or two, I am unable to access the internet even if I am connected to the router. I even tried to access Internet through my cell phone using a hotspot. It too its display "NO Internet access. There is no problem with the router or my cell like everybody else uses it and its works very well. So I tried to system restore to a point where I knew I was able to use the Internet. And here it does not work... But even once after the windows update it stopped working. Again, I must use the system restore to make it work.

    I can't find the source of this problem? Because of the windows update or something else?

    The KB2705219 update could be the cause and uninstall that solved the problem for some users.

    To uninstall an update - control panel, programs & features, [left side of the window] see installed updates. Wait until the system has finished the research for the list of updates. Select update required, then right click and Uninstall.

    But...

    In another thread [my computer today installed windows 7 updates, but my internet has been lost.] But the network is visible. [what caused this?] a user has identified this notice - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    While it remains that uninstall the Win7 update than kb2705219 solved the problem for at least two users, you should consider the McAfee fix. At least two users had also reported having removed then reinstalled McAfee earlier in the day and their systems have increased back & run correctly afterwards.
