  Original title: cannot access files on a folder on the drive hard usb after you have turned off sharing on a network.

  About a week and a half, I have set up my external hard drive usb to share on my network domestic as well as my brother could access some files on his laptop computer.  I've been playing with the security of some of the files on the hard drive and made sure that he could not access some of them.  I don't remember exactly what I did unfortunately.  After I had changed the security access, I was still able to access all files and my brother could not access it.  He got the files on the hard drive and I turned off my computer.  A few days later, I tried to access the files that I had limited and I was stuck.  When I went back in the drive to recover some files, I received an error "you don't have permission to access this folder.  Click on continue to have access to this folder permanently. "When I click on continue that another dialogue box comes up saying"you refused permission to access this folder.  To access this file you will need to use the Security tab. "I click on the link to Security tab and another dialog box appears asking"to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties.  Do you want to continue? "I'm obviously the administrator because I have this computer and I'm the only account on it.  From this point, I don't know what I do or what I'm supposed to do to recover my files.  I played a bit with a couple of things and I was able to get into certain folders, but its an extremely long process that I don't have the time for.  A side effect of which in fact so I can see the files, is that for any movie file, I try to access it, I get an error.  When I try to open it with Windows Media Player, I get the error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file.  The file may be in use (which is not the case), you won't have access to the computer where the file is stored (which is not supposed to because the computer on which it is stored my personal computer), or your proxy settings are may not be not correct (what?). "If I try to use another program like VLC media player, I get a similar problem where an error comes up saying that it was impossible to access the file.  I can see the file and see the properties but I am unable to actually see the film.  I can't move the file anywhere because I don't have administrative rights.  I'm under Windows 7 Ultimate, and if someone could help me please, that would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Ridley,

  I see that this problem is old enough but you (or others) may have problems with it. Here's what I did:
  -Got to your hard drive and right click on the folder that is causing all the trouble.
  -Click on properties.
  -Click on the Security tab
  -Then click on advanced
  -You will see a window with a few user names. Now click on owner in the tabs above.
  -Click on edit, then select the user name you want to open the folder and don't forget to tick the box that says "Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects", then click on apply.
  A pop will come which says something like "You have replaced the property for the selected records" or something in this way. It worked for me and I hope this post is helpful for some people.

• "You do not have permissions to access this folder" after copying the files on server 2012R2

  Recently, I've copied the 600GO files and folders using Robocopy from 2003 to 2012R2. No problem with the copy, but the properties of the root of the copied files showed a number of size and file incorrect directory to the same directory on Server 2003.

  Pursuit of the investigation, it seems that even if I am in a group of security on all files (with full control), I can't navigate some of them. When I select some files, I get a popup saying "you don't have permissions to access this folder." If I click on the "Continue" button, I also have access to the folder.

  When I check the permissions applied to the folder, it shows my group listed (with full control in the source files) and now added my user account security and given full control permissions.

  Anyone can shed light on what is happening here?

  To answer my own question, I just find some information about it and it is linked to the good old UAC.

• 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?

  After reading this post

  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?

• "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' < name of working group > is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

  I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

  My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

  Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

  IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

  I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

  I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

  JW,

  Thanks for the continued support.

  By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

  Thanks for the info on the master browser.

  The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
  the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

  The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

  I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

  After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

  I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

  Thank you 1 million,

• Error: "\\(PC Name) is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource... The specified network provider is not valid.

  Hi, this is a follow-up to the issue and my second attempt to find the solution. In addition, it is still connected to my first and second positions.

  My laptop that works with Windows 7 32-bit has 2 two natural questions:

  1. I can't access PC's on the network on the laptop itself and thus get an error:
  "\\(PC Name) is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server know if you have access permission. The specified network provider is not valid.

  2. When you make the file sharing Wizard, I get an error "your folder cannot be shared" and the only option is to click on 'Done '.

  I'm trying to share folders to another laptop that works with 64-bit Windows 8 but I think there must be a problem with the Windows 7 laptop. I can share and access all the folders of any laptop before.

  Thank you! Any useful response will be greatly appreciated.

• Win7 computer cannot connect to other computers Win7 network "\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

  I have a Windows 7 (box A) system that cannot connect to files shared on another computer in Windows 7 (box B).

  • On the 'network card' and 'See the network computers and devices', I can see box B of area A.
  • I can ping Box B of area A.
  • I can connect on MEDIA sharing on box B of area A.
  • Area C (another system of Windows 7) I can connect to the B area and am presented with a box of authentication to connect to the shares (i.e., box B works as it should).

  But the box has double clicking on box B or using \\computername or \\IP_Address the dialog box run, I get the error:

  ----

  \\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

  The network is not present or not started.

  ----

  I know that the system is available, because the area C can access... But something's not on the box... It cannot connect to zone B or C. Box

  I have disabled the firewall on both systems without result.

  I reinstalled the network adapter and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on the box.

  Yet somehow box's not connection to other computers on the network.

  Any thoughts on what I should check would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  OK... so I was able to track down and get it fixed...

  I found another symptom (that would be a good way to check and see if you experience the same problem).

  In the network and sharing Center, I clicked on "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left column. I found that the radio button under "File and printer sharing" was put on the OFF position.  I started and saved the changes, but when I returned in these settings, it is once again in the off position.

  It turned out that the workstation service is set to disabled (which also caused the computer browser service for not being able to boot). I activated the workstation service, started, and set it to automatic.  Then did the same for the computer browser service.

  Both of these services running, the "File and printer sharing" it will remain actually on IT, and I am able to connect to other devices on the network in the way I had to.

  I can't mark this message as the solution (perhaps because I posted it?) so if someone he will quote as their response to the post office, I'll be able to mark as answer.

  Hi Ryan,

  Thanks for the quick response.

  I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

  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.
