File access denied: "you must be authorized to perform this action."

When you try to repair Windows (using the Windows installation disc) starts the repair process set by mistake some files on my data partition, which is not the system drive: folder 'Boot' and the file 'bootmgr. "

My system disk is c:\ drive and data drive is d:\

When you try to delete these files, I have the above error, despite the fact that I have all rights to do.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

The startup folder should be placed somewhere other than the OS partition, while the repair has been made.  They are both necessary and moving them can cause problems.  If you continue to remove them, I'd do a backup first.  You could try to remove in safe mode, or try to remove with a 3rd party app called Treesize (by Jam software).  If these two you could take possession of their (google it).  Either the 'system' or the trusted installer currently has the files even though an admin you can not delete them.

    Woo Hoo! I found the solution to this problem on my own after MANY, MANY hours with support of Symantic(for Norton360), Cisco Linksys (to the router) and the Magic network (for the software that came with the Wireless Linksys router). Symantic wasn't able to uninstall norton and reinstall and said: there is nothing wrong with their software and that there nothing more they can do.

    Network Magic basically and says the same thing.

    And... Finally and most importantly, Cisco. Cisco Linksys basically does the same thing as others for the firmware, but they came then with the light concludes that it must be a defective unit and they will send me a new.

    Well... It was not good enough for me; all my equiptment (including the router) works great since the 1st configuration about a year ago.

    Well... Here is how I fixed it:

    Once the correctly mapped network drive, go to "computer", right-click on your network drive, click Properties, open the Security tab, click the edit button, and there you go. Now you should see the account which still tell it that person's permission. If it is there as it should be, click on this account to highlight, then the permissions wish you to have. Click on apply and ok. You should now be able to edit, add, delete, etc. your files now.

    My only problem with this is: Whence this account and why he did by default without changing the permissions, AND MORE important AGAIN (you will discover if you try to do) WHY can I NOT DELETE THIS ACCOUNT. When / if I find the answers to these last questions, I'll post it here. So, if you are iterested in this case, come back. I'm rain to get to the bottom of this.

    For now, I will let Cisco send me the new unit, because this new mysterious account can be a hacker who penetrated machines via the router somehow. If this is the case, my theory for how this can happen is: all linksys units come by default with easy access with a user/pass as admin/admin. I would strongly suggest that you go into your router on the tab configuration administrations; customize the password router AND on the storage tab; in the section "User management", click the "Edit" button and customize the admin password (make sure you write down your new password and what they goto)

  • File access denied: you need permission to everyone to make changes to this file

    Hello.  When I try to delete a file on an external hard drive on a network, I get this error message:

    "File access denied: you need permission to everyone to make changes to this file."
    I tried to take possession of the file, but there is no security or any other option to do.  Here's what I see when I click on properties:
    In general, details, previous Versions
    Under "Details", the owner is listed as "Everyone".  At the bottom of the box, there is a link "remove properties and personal information."  If I click on that I have two options: 'Create a copy with all of the properties deleted' or "Remove the following properties from the file."  If I select "owner" and click ok, nothing happens - the owner is always listed as "Everyone" and I can't delete it.
    I am running windows 8.
    I am the administrator.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Doug

    Step 1: Open the file properties

    Step 2: Open the security option, and then click on allow list of user options and select your user name.

    Step 3: Select allow and any other option. Then, closed.

    Step 4: then open the file again. Now you can remove it.

    Hope that it will workzzzz...

    Hi NoPCgeek,
     
    1. what program do you use to read the file present on the CD?
    2. What is the format of the file present on the CD?
     
    Before playing the files on the CD, make sure you cross check if you have the right program installed on the computer. If you have not installed the right program, then we recommend you to install the program that supports the file type and use them to read the files on the CD.
     
    You can also change the default program to read this file. The program opens the file only if the file format is supported by the latter.
    See Change that uses default Windows programs
