• You don't have permission to open this file - but... I am Admin and permanent air well

  Hello
  I have a folder on my desktop, and inside this folder, I have two additional folders and two files JPG (cover). In the main folder, I got 3gbish with a value of MP3s and small amounts of MP3s inside two subfolders. I was able to remove all the files in the main folder of fine, but cannot remove the two subfolders, two album art jpgs and the folder main itself. I can't delete, rename or change permissions.

  If I look at the permissions for one of these objects, I complete privs read/write etc. I'm the only computer account and I am administrator. I have no problem with my computer other than these files. I want that they went!

  This sounds like a registry problem? I tried to use utilities like LockHunter to help, but I get the same message "you do not have permission" as when I try manually. Don't know what else to do.

  Initially, lockhunter specifies the objects were locked by a process. It is windows media player. This folder was monitored by Windows media player for songs. I removed from the windows media Player library settings, however, I am still unable to remove the file manually or via lockhunter. LockHunter now no locking process but when I try to delete, it says "you are not allowed. Please contact the administrator '.

  It is a calculation home running Windows 7 x 64.
  Drive is local and not network.
  No changes were made to the system I know.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Sean

• You don't have permission to access this folder. Can't access iTunes.

  Original title: user account access changed without being changed.

  Hello

  I have a new computer with Windows 7 Professional. Today, I tried to run iTunes. He said I may not access the folder or it has been locked. Of course my user folder has a big lock next to him. I am the administrator. I have not changed the permissions. Currently, it seems that I have somehow connected with a different account. My library on my C drive folders are empty. This would explain why iTunes does not load. As I said I have not changed any settings. It happened as if by magic...

  How my user folder has being blocked or how my user account has changed its permissions, as an administrator, I should have access to my user folder, or I am now another user? Who is now the administrator? -What happened? A lot of questions. I am happy to be able to see the library files on the C drive, I used to be able to the week last in any profile.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  After reading this post

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7programs/thread/d616e06f-ecdd-4D34-8d7a-a9936a91ad6e

  I went my users folder and tried to set the permissions again.

  I have 4 users or group names

  System

  [username] ([username] - PC\ [username])

  Individuals ([username] - PC\HomeUsers)

  Administrators ([username] - PC\Administrators)

  When I wnet in the advanced on ther Security tab my 'home ([username] - PC\HomeUsers) users' group had special permits. I selected it and then click on change permissions. Another very similar screen came. I have selected the Group of users of home again and press Edit I selected a full control. All the checkboxes selected themselves. I hit OK, and then click apply. A box appeared that set permissions. I have several errors telling me that permission could not be set. I kept acknowleding and continues. Once the lock on my users folder disappeared. But iTunes still does not work.

  If the lock on my users folder has dissappeared. iTunes still won't work and I think I just make my Connection public network vulnerable to attacks. Great :)

  In any case, I really need to download iTunes running.

  I open my account users (without lock) and try to access my music folder it tells me

  You do not have currenmtly has the permission to access this folder

  Click on continue to have access to this folder permainently

  I click on continue. A padlock appears next to my music folder, but I have access and Itunes now runs.

  All good and well, but I noe feel as if I had a bride mish bad permissions which will expose undoutedly me to safety and is still not right.

  How do I check the permissions?

  I believe that the passage of the group to public networks may have been when the problem started. I'm guessing that I'm not alone with this problem.

  My video files and images all wanted to set their access permannet permissions and now have a lock next to them

  I'm willing to do all this right. Seems not just for now, but then again I can't access my data and run my programs again. How can I check to see if I'm now vulnerable to attacks on public networks?

• You don't have permission to open this PDF file

  Hello

  I have a new system with Windows 7 Pro.

  I can't open any PDF file if they are in the MY Documents folder.  If I use Adobe Reader or Nitro gives me basically the same thing. A setting error warning that I'm not allowed to access this file.

  The strange thing is that if the same file is in a different folder (for example public documents) they open smoothly.

  It is only when the file is located in My Documents they open and only pdf type.

  Any idea how to fix this problem apart from the obvious workaround solution working with other folders?

• Error message when you try to attach the document to an e-mail message: you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner of the file... for permission

  I can't attach documents to hotmail or my e-mail from work using Firefox. I have not tried another such search engine as suggested in other posts with similar but different questions. Yesterday a pop-up asked me permission for Firefox to access my documents and clicked on 'no '. I had never seen this pop-up request before if I didn't take the risk that it be a virus. A month ago I was able to attach documents to my email.

  Using Windows Explorer, I moved my documents from the folder 'libraries' to 'myfolder' under computer. Not sure if they had moved or if it was just a temporary solution of fluke, but I could send my documents successfully. There was malware that has been found through one of the links provided by an answering machine, but even if the malware has been removed, the issue has not been resolved.

• I can't move files on my external hard drive as it says I don't have permission.

  Whenever I have try and drag or copy and paste the files on my external hard drive it says I don't have permission. I know this isn't the hard drive because it works on other computers

  To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

  Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

  You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

  You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  Right-click new - folder Properties - Security - Advanced - tab permissions - Edit button - select the account - check the two checkboxes - button - Advanced - Search now button Add button - select your tick - Ok button - total control in the list. OK your way out.

  Step 4: Disable the Antivirus

  I suggest to disable the Antivirus/Firewall temporarily, then check the issue.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
  Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

  Note: Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Hope this information helps.
