Change the permissions of file on the mass in Windows 7

I have about 500 files in a directory that I want to delete but I get a warning "you need permission to administrators to make changes to this file.

To remove a single folder, I need to click with the right button on the file/properties/security/edit/administrators /-> total control.

Of course, I don't want to this 500 times, is there a batch file or command I can run to update all files starting with code_? *

Thank you

Follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the parent directory
  2. Select Properties
  3. Go to the Security tab
  4. Press the Advanced button
  5. Press change permissions... button
  6. Give full control of your user name
  7. Make sure that 'Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable this object' is selected
  8. OK your way out

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

    original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

    Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

    Hello socratesman,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

    You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

    Hey,.

    > I bought Toshiba preinstalled official Windows 7 Professional 64 service Pack 1
    You can change the language on Windows 7 Professional t, this is possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with the current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

    Configure your WiFi connection as connection meter and then check the settings of the meter connections - it allows to disable some updates and other actions which are data, unless you run them manually.
