Can not save anything - access denied-, but using account Admin

I have Windows 7 and whenever I try and save something in my user folder, it says access denied because I'm not an Admin - but I am - and it then asks me to save it in the folder of the previous user that has some sort of lock on him, so I can't delete it. There is only 1 account (mine), but it still won't let me save files anywhere, but the locked admin folder. How to remove or unlock it? I'm minutes to throw my screen by the window. I tried prntscrn'ing the problem, but it wouldn't let me save the MS paint doc!

Your very first step with a used computer is to do a clean install of Windows. Not sure what problems you inherited from the original owner. If you don't want to not do it (not recommended), and then as new accounts work very well do yourself a new Standard for the daily user and keep one new account administrator for your account 'CompAdmin' as described in the above recommended. Copy the data from your old account to your new account Standard user and then delete the old user account. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I can not save the background sound on R500 27175GU

    Hi all

    I've been looking for a solution for a long time but no answer. My laptop Lenovo R500 27175GU, OS is XP pack 3. Audio device is Conexant 20561 Smart Audio HD. The problem is I can not save the background music but can record microphone (IE I can not record sound from the speaker). When I explore the Volume control, I see that I have just two mixer device: Conexant HD Audio Output, Conexant HD Audio Input. When go to Conexant HD Audio Input, I have only microphone for recording. Can anyone help me solve this problem so that I can record the speaker, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Because your laptop is not the software that does what you want.

  • I can not save pictures it says access denied

    I can not save pictures it says access denied

    In which folder you are trying to save the images (full path name please)?  It is C:\Users\\Pictures (which shouldn't give you a permissions problem, but it is possible) or is this another place?  Also, when you try to save pictures of (full name of path please)?  It's probably just a permissions problem.  You must grant you full rights and eventually take charge of this issue (or perhaps its parent or both folders if the permissions are inherited).  You may also use the advanced feature to adjust the special permissions that can be liimiting described on the homepage (it depends on the folder and what permissions are).  Here are some general guidelines for changing the permissions and/or ownership.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    I hope this helps.
