I am trying to remove the "read only" attribute of the file, that I had just downloaded in Windows Vista

Original title: administrative account - change a read-only file

Administrative account: I would like to change a file I am trying to download on my computer.  I don't know how my administrator account to change the file, I am trying to open - fly a read-only.

Hi auddie,.

1. What is the error you get when you try to open the file?

I suggest that you take the file and check.

a. right click on the file you want to take control and then click Properties.
b. click the Security tab and then click OK on the security message (if one appears).
c. click Advanced and then click the owner tab.
d. in the name list, click your user name, click Administrator, if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the replace the owner of sub containers and objects check box.
e. 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. Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

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

. Click OK, and then re apply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

  • Remove the read-only attribute from all files in a folder

    How to remove the read-only attribute from all files in a folder. I tried to use the properties and used the attrib command, but all I see is when I right click on the folder, selecting Properties, it shows once again

    I followed the forums, but I'm really confused. Can someone help me with this. Thanks in advance

    I would like to start by finding which file is read-only again. This is probably a file as well as a miniature file desktop.ini.  An easy way to find it is to go to the details view, turn on the column heading "Attributes" and search for all files with the attribute value "R":

    In this example, the key of SB file is read-only:

  • I can't turn my photos because I can't disable the 'read only' attribute of my files.

    Whenever I go into the Properties uncheck the read-only attribute of my files, it won't let me, but he will return back as soon as I click on ' OK. "

    I tried to change the property, as well as the opening of full control.

    I'm already administrator.

    It happens even when I create new folders on my desktop. It it automatically read-only, and I am able to uncheck with him coming back after I click OK without worrying.

    Help, please.

    The photos are from my phone. Open them in the image viewer and I'm just turning them using that, or good right click to rotate.

    This also happens with the new cases, I create and save all the images that I have on my computer.

    The images themselves are not read-only. The folder attribute is the problem.

    Again, there is no attribute of read-only files.

    If you use an iPhone, the photos can contain metadata that preventing rotation.

    See this thread.

  • How to remove the files that are most referenced in the catalogue

    Over the years, we have a number of files (raw files ~ 650) who withdrew from the catalog but not my hard drive. This happens mainly because I used the wrong combination. But now I am stuck how can I find and delete these files?

    Best strategy so far:

    -Use Synchronize folders to search for the missing files from the catalog

    -The re-importation of a keyword - deleteme.

    I'd really rather avoid this because I really don't want to take the risk of any chance to have these files. Any other ideas?

    See you soon

    In each of your folders in Lightroom, create a new folder and call it temp. In Lightroom, move the images that are located in the folders to temporary folders. Go to your finder and delete these images that were not moved to the temp folder. (ie. those that Lightroom was not aware of) Move images back in Lightroom, and then delete the temp folder.

    Personally, I'd go with import via synchronization of the top-level folder and then delete the images as you watch the "previous import" and get rid of all 650 photos at once. No necessary but useful keyword as a security measure.

    Hi Julie Theiler,.
     
    Unfortunately there is no such feature which keeps track of the information of deleted files. However, you can check the trash on the network to see if the deleted file's still in there.

  • I am trying to remove the read-only in a file of windows vista program

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the program files in Windows Vista. I have a file that I need to be able to write to and I can't get out of the read-only mode. Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you.

    You really shouldn't be messing around in the Program Files folder unless you REALLY know what you are doing, because the wrong action can cause a lot of damage to your programs (more than one in some cases).  You experience trouble intentionally caused by Vista.

    But assuming you want to do anyway for some reason, the said problem as a Teen geek is ownership and permissions.  They are particularly tight on the programs folder (and hard to get around even for people experienced in this sort of thing).

    You must you give full permissions and take ownership of the files or the folders that you intend to work with.  You may need to change the permissions of the parent due to inherited permissions folders.  You may also use the advanced permissions option to deal with special permissions (maybe change some while they are not inherited or others in order to provide the right permissions as well as the main permissions screen.  I don't know how long until you go to appropriating, but start with everything that you need and work upward only when necessary.  Here are a few guidelines for permissions and lines taken possession that should help you:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

  • Can't remove read only attribute even using the command "Attrib - r".

    I have my computer laptop configuration to dual boot Windows Vista and Windows 7.  I installed Windows 7 to see Vista, images, music files and videos Documents in its libraries.  These four files have become read recently that in Vista, and I can't remove the read-only attribute.  I tried to use the attrib command in command as suggusted in KB326549, but I get a message "access denied."  I want to be able to access these files from two operating systems so that I don't need to save the files on two hard disk partitions.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Jon

    By default, you have only write access to folders and files located inside your user (c:\users\yourname) directory, some hidden folders, and any file that you created.

    The only time you need to write access to all files outside of this area is at this time do system administration or install a program.

    This can be done easily by running some tool or install the program you use "Administrator" by right-clicking on it and clicking Run as administrator, which allow the tool access to the system.

    It's the new way of doing things in Windows Vista - the system is locked, and only the programs you are running as an administrator or you request automatically the authorization are allowed to access your computer. This will prevent programs to access your computer without your knowledge.

    This command "Run As Administrator" is ideal to run on Windows Explorer and command control.exe (Panel).

    It is * NOT * recommended that you change the security settings to allow write access on the operating system created for files and folders, as this will significantly reduce the security of your system.

    So, in essence, it becomes a question of permissions/ownership.  Here's how to deal both:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself).
