How to move files between folders without having to turn off UAC (as admin)

I am connected to my computer as an administrator (Windows Vista).  I take loads and loads of photos - when I edit that I need to move them between folders or subfolders.  If I have active user account control, the system tells me that I don't have permission to do so.   I had the same problem with Windows XP.  Please tell us how can I fix this.  I'm not invited to passwords.

How to change the permissions on the folders
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/157304-folder-permissions.html

===================================================

From a post by Rehman F.

Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions of files and folders:

1. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

2. click on advanced and then click the owner tab.

3. click on edit and then do one of the following:

·    To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups, and in the box type
the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

·    To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.

4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the replace the owner of sub containers and objects check box.

5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. You want to replace the directory
permissions with permissions granting you full control?

All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

6. click on OK and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

Additional considerations

7· An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.

8· Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control

I hope this helps.

  • How to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    I would like to move a file from one folder to another one of Lightroom 3 (do not discuss why). I searched the net but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo in the grid view and then drag and drop this file into another folder in the folder Panel (for the move), a small sign more (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo in the original folder (for the move), two copies of the file are removed. I tried pressing all kinds of keys on the imac but unable to get the move to work. Ideally, I would like to move a group of pictures but can not move even one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

    Try to select the pictures, right click on the folder target and choosing "move selected Photos to this folder.

  • How to move files between accounts?

    Hello

    I used my MacBook with administrator account because I got it. (over 4 years)

    I guess that there is a problem or annoying with it, so I made a new user with normal privileges account today.

    But I have no idea how to make to move all the files, including the Aperture library, films, documents, music in iTunes, download and so on for the new directories of account without losing storage space. (which Directory directory to which? that's it?) I think I need to move and delete files that I can't know that they should be deleted so that the files don't not to occupy the SSD.

    I hope someone can help out me.

    Thank you

    Run for the most part not Administrator protects you from yourself.

    The best thing to do is use the new account as the account admin, then demote your current account at the standard. Just make sure that you promote the new account before you downgrade your current account.

    On each screen of the user in users and groups, check or uncheck the box that says "allow user to administer this computer."

  • How do I remove, rename, or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find?

    Im running Windows 7 Ultimate edition. What should I do to solve this problem: too often, when I try to delete, rename or move a file/s or folder/s so on my desktop, documents, library, or anywhere with a typical, it should create a custom folder, I get an error message telling me that I can not remove this file or folder because it is open in another program. It drives me crazy because I don't know what the heck, or when the devil this folder doesn't exist anywhere else on my laptop. I tried to look for programs and files to determine if there are duplicate areas where the file can share with another path, but nothing. I also looked at the properties of the file/folder, but it does show me nothing relevant, even if I uncheck the read-only box. I am the only user/administrator of my laptop. I created a profile of the privileged administrator I use only, nothing else. I run a home network with 5 computers and treat various problems in the past, but this problem started recently, after I upgraded my network of Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n to Windstream wireless all-in-one router. The new router was a piece of * so I've not unhooked it and reiinstalled my original Windstream modem 4220 + linksys wrt600n devices. I had a few problems, but everything is now back to how it was. I can only think that this may have something to do with the share on the network? Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but there seems to be too many titles listed under users? It's whats listed under users: administrator, Classic .NET AppPool, default, default AppPool, (my username) and Public. In any case, please help % @#! I think I may be fubar had my network configuration after uninstallation and reinstallation of the windstream (local phone/internet provider) facilities and added a printer wireless capability (which does not). and may have caused the problem that I can't delete, rename or move files or folders in another program, that I can't find? If yes or else, HELP!

    When you have the problem that happens, open the Task Manager.
    Then, you can view the processes that are open and see if the program or file is open by another process. If so, then select end task.
    Then return to Windows Explorer and see if you can remove the file now.

    You may also be able to delete the file in Mode without failure.
    To access Safe Mode:
    (a) restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
    (b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
    (c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.

    If you run a Web server, you can see the AppPool under users.

    An application pool is a group of one or more URLS served by a worker process or a set of worker processes. Application pools define limits for the applications they contain, which means that all the applications that are running outside of a given application pool does not affect applications in the application pool.

    Hope this has helped answer your questions.

    How to edit pdf file (in indesign) without having to re-export then and redo all the fields of the form and formatting?

    Edit PDF files in InDesign is not a good idea. If the file was originally exported ID, then change the original and then create a new PDF file.

    Open an old, and then use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages on the 'old'. The fields that you have already created will remain in place when you do this.

    First stop typing in all capitals, as this is considered as yelling and is rude.
     
    RAM is physical memory and to increase the size of the physical memory in the computer, you need to buy more memory.
     
    There are methods available to physical memory, you have in computer programs, such as reducing the memory allocated amount to a shared video adapter, reducing the number of programs and services that are running when the computer starts, but deleting files from the hard drive of the computer will not increase the amount of available memory.
     
    This explains the difference between physical memory and memory available http://www.sharpened.net/helpcenter/answer.php?76

    -It used to work and for some reason, now it does not work

    Greetings, d_chiuch1104,

    There is one thing that I know that you need to check that COULD be your problem.  Open Control Panel (in Classic view) and click Folder Options (or, in Control Panel, click on appearance and personalization and then Folder Options).

    Open the view tab and make sure that "Always show icons, never thumbnails" is NOT checked.

    It would be good to hear from you as to whether that was the problem!
