Get "you have been denied permission to access this folder."

I have the Western Digital external hard drive where I kept some of My Documents, music & video files. I got Windows 7 earlier and then upgraded to Windows 8 Pro using upgrade offer... Now when I try to open the external hard drive, most of the files are open and working well., but the film (video) files folder, I get the error "you have been denied permission to access this folder." ()To access this folder, you must use the Security tab).


What should I do about it... !!

MY question is quite similar to this question... But mine is on Windows 8. (Click on the link below)

I used the command line (Administrator) and has been able to use xcopy to copy the locked files on my external hard drive on drive c.  Now they are all unlocked.

  • You have been denied permission to access this folder

    Back in the day, you could just add a password to your file, but apparently Windows wants be complicated like Apple. I buy Windows for simplicity and the ability to easily change things asI want, but complaints on the side: I wanted to make a folder private, but instead, his blocked he took so completely, it can thus have removed world. I tried to simply refuse access to people who can use the computer by clicking "decline" which disables 'allow' obviously. I thought that Windows may ask for a password when you tried to open the file (if your administrator has defined password blah blah) - nope. After research, I discovered that you need to download a program for password protection. That's great, more ways to get a virus! In any case, someone please help me!

    Left click on the flash drive produces a pop-up with title bar G:\

    This problem has been resolved.

    Right-click all methods have not access external external hard drives and flash drives.

    Sharing, permissions, ownership, administrative changes, all method all failed.

    This problem has been resolved by higher HP product support.  Other levels of support were not able to diagnose the problem or fix.

    The problem has been resolved by:

    (1) determine that he was not a NTFS problem

    (2) using the msconfig to isolate a single service

    When the unique service has been disabled the files on any external drives have been available.

    The service of the problem was the HP Client Security.

    This HP Client Security in its default value is set to deny access.

    Then right-click on the drive and change the permissions, ownership, to administrators, using everyone etc. will fail because they are all trumped by the HP Client Security that is set by default to deny access.

    When that client security is changed the drives become available.  It is not information about this when using the computer and this can be learned by trial and error.

    I hope this helps all those who have z book 17 mobile workstations or HP computers that are equipped with client security.

    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 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?

    System

    [username] ([username] - PC\ [username])

    Individuals ([username] - PC\HomeUsers)

    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.

    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?

  • You are currently not allowed to access this folder

    I have a FreeAgent GoFlex 2 TB drive and inside I have most of my files. When I upgraded to Windows 7 to Windows 8 I noticed that I get the error message "you do not have permission to access this folder." When I try to open one of the folders more large size. I noticed that the drive is set to read-only, and when I try to disable the check box and click on apply it is always switched on again when I check properties again. I also tried to see who has permissions for the reader and for each folder. It is said that everyone should have full read/write permission. Also, when I click on continue in the box that appears, it seems to be something to "unlock" the loading file, but always stops at the end and never finish. Help, please!

  • External Hard Drive - you do not have permission to access this folder.

    I have a question to do this and it is for the most part been answered on another topic, but the mine goes further; I have made a homegroup in Win 7 and added my third computer Vista, and shared my external hard drive to it.  Only problem is, I want both computers to write and be able to connect the player to the vista computer for faster transfers.  I wonder if she shares made it difficult for the computer to vista to read, and you wonder how all the access permissions, it seems that whenever I do a folder on the Win 7 computer, I have to re - authorize the permissions.  Seizing property in 7 will continue this problem if I want to use the hard drive under vista?  In addition, I get not him "you do not have authorization error", and I also get a "access denied." In a first time what was going on only the vista, but now its started happening on the 7.  (I tried sharing and security for everyone).

    I thought about it, I had to create another group by taking the reader to computer vista and adding a group to the location of the vista computer, then in the description of name I had to put the name of the vista user account and allow full control in the same workgroup name settings

  • "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?
