How to find my permissions on a folder?
I inadvertently put all SYSTEM permission on a folder to Deny - long story, but it's what I was doing. Now, if I go to the Security tab, under file properties to try and correct my mistake, the Security tab shows the sentence, "you may not to view or edit the permissions of the object settings. I am my system administrator and creator of the file.
If I click on advanced, the owner tab shows under the current ownership, "Unable to display current owner." If I click on change and try to change the owner to myself, it gives me an error "access denied".
I also tried to go into safe mode and running the "takeown" command from the prompt of commands, but it came back again, 'access denied '.
Strands - please send help!
Try this:
1 activate the administrator account and password.
2 restart in Safe Mode.
3. log on as an administrator.
4. click on start
5. type the three letters cmd
6. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
7 run the process as an administrator.
8 type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
takeown /f "F:\ProblemFolder" / a r d y
ICACLS "F:\ProblemFolder" / t/c/grant administrators: F System: F everyone: F
(Answer "Yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")

How to restore the permissions for the folder
I work with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10.
Initially I tried see my Cookies folder and eventually he finds in C:\Users\(my user name). I wanted to look at the files and potentially manually remove some, but I was not allowed access to the folder. I am the sole owner and the user of that PC. I figured it would give me full permission for files and folders.
I tried to change the permissions on the folder, and even if the properties show that I have all permissions except "Special permissions" I was unable to open the folder.
A second possibility, I changed the permissions 'All' allow all these same permissions - I clicked on full control. A warning window appears saying that there are permissions that were more in agreement and it is potentially unstable. I then decided to cancel this change all the permissions back, but am currently not able to restore the original permissions. I am really unable to change all permissions to this folder now.
I would like to restore the permissions on this folder Cookies in their original condition / by default. Can someone help me?
ALSO: since my original post, I noticed that in the icon beside my C:\username\ subdirectory when you view it in Solution Explorer, there is a lock. I don't know if it was there before. Is this a normal representation / by default to the directory?
Thank you.

How can I find the permissions for my files in windows xp?
I have windows xp, home edition. I installed service pack 3 for the networks, hoping to access the Security tab in the folder properties. Does anyone have an idea how to get the Security tab in folder properties in windows xp? Once I get this security tab, I can follow the instructions to take possession of these records.
Thank you very much for your help.
The 'security' tab appears only if you have Windows XP Pro and you have disabled "Simple file sharing".

Until a few days back all sent files has been noticed but suddenly two of the sent files are missing and I am unable to find the same. I use vista and windows mail. Please let me know how recover/find missing files.

MaheshTry searching *.eml and make sure you include hidden files and folders in the search parameters. See also here for the Organization of store message (www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm). You should be able to use the browser to go to the directory of sent items under the directory of local records and the actual messages will be located there. It may be useful to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) and make sure that everything in the folder, you saw the value. Current view | Show all messages.

Finder: Search in the current folder does not work
I have a folder in my finder 'search in the current folder' where returns 0 results even though I get the names of the files in this folder.
I tried to add this to the honor, then removing it so that its reindexed and I tried to remove finder invisible (and other) files, but that is not worked.
I ca 300 PDF files in this folder. I tried to create the new folder somewhere else and add these PDF here and yet the search does not work.
Someone knows how to fix this?
Greetings eklisiarh,
Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple. I see that there is a folder with about 300 PDF files that you are not able to search through the search option. I know that the research allows me to find just the right file. I'll be more than happy to help.
You did a great job so far with re-indexing of that folder. First of all, to start in safe mode. This will be clear cache files and perform a few system checks. Once in safe mode, see if you can search inside this folder. Here is the article about how to start in safe mode. You can ignore the part where it says "If your Mac does not complete startup".
Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support
Reboot will leave safe mode. If this does not work, try to test this question in a new user and copy the folder in this new user to see if this is a question broad system.

Take care!

How can I create a junk mail folder so I can watch the outlook express emails is filter
Laina
I have run outlook express for my e-mail but don't have a junk folder; That's why I don't get e-mails I want; How can I create a junk mail folder so I can watch the e-mail program's filter? Thank you!
OE downloads the messages from the server and has no capability of blocking incipient unless you set rules for such. So if you get any messages, they are likely in junk e-mail on the server (that OE does not have access to) and you must go to Webmail to access the server, then you can go to the Junk folder and find messages that you do not receive. OE has no control over the filtering server - you can adjust on the server via webmail.

Hello
Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider); They provide your broadband / dial connection.
Ask them to:
1. your username with them
2. your password with them.
3 incoming mail POP3 server.
4. the outgoing mail SMTP server
All the settings that you need to come from them, not Microsoft; and they are usually happy to help you set up your e-mail program.

SpareBackup.msi installation package
Computer MT continues to try to run a backup. He asked me to find a path to a folder containing the installation package 'SpareBackup.msi' I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I keep getting is not available.Hello
1. when exactly you get invites him to install SpareBackup.msi?
Method 1:
I recommend you perform the clean boot that this issue could be caused by some third party software.
Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note:
After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
Method 2:
You can also download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the problem is caused by a Virus/Malware.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note:
The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
