    3. of what exact file you try to remove the encryption?

    4. have you installed windows on the C partition or another partition?

    Method 1.

    To resolve this issue, give the system security principal of full control on the System Volume Information folder.

    NOTE: The System Volume Information folder is a hidden operating system folder. To display the folder in Windows Explorer, follow these steps:

    1. in the Tools menu, click Folder Options.

    2. on the view tab, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box.

    I would like to create a new user account and check if the problem still persists.

    Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Create-a-user-account

    If the problem does not occur in the new user account, you can transfer the files from the damaged to the new user account by using the article user account "difficulty a user profile is corrupted.

    Difficulty a user profile is corrupted: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Method 3.

    You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

    For more information: the file must be decrypted by the user who encrypted the file. The files are encrypted using the Encrypting File System (EFS) are accessible only to the person who encrypted the file, regardless of the other permissions on the file.

  • an error occurred applying attributes to the file

    When I try to open some pictures, the system denies me access, I tried their decryption but get an error message and it says access denied. This has happened since the reinstallation of Vista, e efiles are stored on an external drive.

    In Windows Explorer on the root of the drive, right click and click Properties.  Go to the Security tab.  Add your name to the list of authorized users and give you all the rights and don't forget to check the box to apply it to all the files and subdirectories as well.  Then click Advanced and do essentially the same thing in the special permissions section.  Make sure that the special permissions section does not deny access to all user - if so, change it to allow access (at least read only, but no matter what type of access will make - if rejected, this entry overrides everything else).  While in the Advanced section, click the property tab and you make the owner of the car (and new check box to apply to all files and subdirectories as well).  This should solve the problem.  If you are unable to perform the tasks (you're stuck on a file or folder), try to change the folder or file directly and once done restart the whole process.  If you can't, move it temporarily to the reader until you have done the rest and then go back and try again to change - especially if it's the folder or file you are talking about.  If you still have problems with this file/folder and the following articles didn't help, after return by explaining exactly what happens or does not happen when you try to change it and I'll see if I can identify a reason and help fix you.

    Here is some additional information about the permissions and ownership in the case where you have problems or you want more details about procedures:

    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 solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (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.

  • Delete the file - access denied

    I downloaded a bios update file and saved to a folder on my desktop.  It's for another computer.  When I try to delete it now, it says "access denied."  The name of the file is sp24786.exe.  This is a utility to create a disk to update the bios for an Armada 1750.  My laptop is a DV5140US.  Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    Ron2

    You probably accidentally "run" the file, and there is a window somewhere waiting for you to click 'OK' or something, when an exe is runing, windows do not allow you to delete it. But it should allow you to remove it if it is not not runing.

    Cannot access Pathname you have the appropriate permissions. Cannot download updates gives error code 643 and error code 5. Always gives access denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions. I am the administrator. Change all the complete control. Any other suggestions? Possible virus?

    Hello

    You are unable to download the updates?

    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Method 1: Temporarily disable any security (including firewalls) software and check if the problem persists.

    Check out these links:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: 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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    See the article mentioned below and run the Fixit diagnostic tool to fix the error 643.

  • Restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP, I get the message: 'access denied '.

    Original title: restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP

    Recently, I acquired a virus with which Microsoft Security Essentials could not cope.  Then one day the computer refused to start.  I wrongly assumed that my hard drive was dead, so I installed a new HD and reinstalled Windows XP.  [Actually, I first tried the upgrade to Windows 7, because program upgrade windows 7 Microsoft has already said that my computer was compatible... but Windows 7 disk says otherwise!]  Then I tried to install the HD original in an another drive Bay and discovered it still worked, but I could not boot from it.  Apparently, the virus has killed the OS (Windows XP) but my files, programs and documents are still there.  The problem is that when I try to access my old "My Documents" folder, I get the message: 'access denied '.  I believe that this is because the files are stored in a password protected user account.  I know the password, but I do not know how to access the files.

    I tried to create a user account on my new HD (with the operating system Windows XP reinstalled) with the same name and the password that I used on my original (with the Windows operating system XP corrupted) HD to create all the document files.  However, opening a session with this account name and password did NOT restore my access to the My Documents folder on my original hard drive.

    I'm out of ideas.  Help, please!
