I can't access my public folder

When I click on that folder I get an error message saying "You not currently have permission to access this folder" and tells me to click on continue access as an administrator. I still like I usually would when I get a message like that because I'm the only user on this computer and I am an administrator. Then gives me this message saying "You have been denied permission to access this folder" and "to access this folder, you will need to use the Security tab. I click on the Security tab, but it gives me a different error message saying "the properties for this item are not available.

I do not understand how, I am not able to access this folder when I am the only user and administrator on this computer.

So I decided to right click on the public record, I can't access and click Properties. I click on the Security tab, and he said to me 'you may not to view or edit the permissions of the object settings. If I click on advanced and it gives me the same message for each of the tabs and more the owner one. Under the current owner: he says "Unable to display current owner." So I click on edit to change the owner of my name. I click on apply, but still another error reading message "Unable to set new owner on the Public (\\***-PC).» Access is denied.

As for help, I read that administrators are supposed to be able to access any folder or change the owner of a file or folder when they want. But I have limited permissions and I'm running in circles...

This issue is important enough to me too and don't know what I'll do if I'm unable to open :( Any kind of help will be appreciated here and if I didn't describe the error of B.S. messages I get enough, you are in my shoes because he gives me nothing in the measure of how to solve this problem.

OMG I thought about it! Somehow I was playing around with the option 'share' folder. I was given access to the permissions for the folder, and under everyone, he refused total control. Switched to authorize and everything works fine now. :) I have the impression that such a computer expert...

  • Cannot access my public folder when my firewall is on

    I can't access my public folder when my firewall is turned on. But can access it when my firewall is disabled. I already activated the public folder sharing and file sharing.

  • Can't share a public folder

    We have several computers in an office that appear on the 4 different networks. Most are Win7, one or 2 are XP. All are executed in a switch, then a common gateway. How can I get them all on 1 network so that we can put in place a public shared folder to access the same files? I'm not the most brilliant, nor the lower bulb in the box, but according to me, I lack something.

    Hi Candace,

    • What is the version of the Windows 7 machine that you use (Starter, Home Basic, professional, Ultimate or Enterprise)?

    If your organization uses Active Directory domains to manage its network, you may need to know the domain that a computer belongs to so that you can access other computers and resources on the network.

    1. System opened by clicking on the button start , right click on computer and then click Properties.

    2. If your computer is connected to a domain, under the name of the computer, domain, and workgroup settings, you will see the domain name that your computer belongs. If your computer is connected to a workgroup, you will see the name of the workgroup your computer belongs.

    Or you can just ask IT member of the team if these computers are connected to the domain network.

  • How can I access the profile folder?

    IOriginal title: profile disappeared

    I had a user account under 'Pierre' (I am the only user/administrator) in which there were many folders (travel, photos, music,...). This folder/account is not accessible and visible in the Solution Explorer. Yet, when I do a search under 'C' it is still there under c/users and I can copy files and folders from there to store them in a different folder where I do not have access to the future.

    How can I do this immediately accessible account again under explore with all the data that was there without recourse to this procedure of workaround/copy of humungus? Dozen thank you!

    Stone

    What you reference is not an account, but a profile folder. It's probably hidden. You now need to tell Windows Explorer to show hidden folders: Tools / Folder Options / view / show hidden files, folders and drives. When you see then it again, by that you can view it right click it and checking its properties.

    To be the only 'administrator': it is a very risky way of running things. In this forum we receive a flood of requests from people whose one and only admin account has failed for some reason any. Plan in advance and creating, testing and documenting an alternative admin account would you save a lot of trouble.

    When I click on this link: I get the Windows of your authorization needs to continue. When I click on allow that I get the message «Windows defender...» »
    I'm kind of a loop.
    In a nutshell, that's the problem.

    Another way to access the startup programs.

    Attention... Make sure you understand the function of the program UNTIL you turn it off.

    Start > Search box, type msconfig > Enter > Startup tab > here is the list of startup programs.

    to disable... Uncheck the box in front.

    Hi Katmandu774,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

    If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on password protected sharing

    ·         Turn off password protected sharing

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To control the level of access to the Public folder

     

    1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

    ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

    ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

    1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.

  • Remote access to public folders - password

    On this HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 desktop computer, I want to access the public folders to another system that connect wirelessly to the network. However, I would like to restrict access to the only people who have a password. I was able to enter 'Network & sharing Center' in the 'advanced sharing settings' section and deselect the password option, which allows the connection of a computer to another, but would also allow someone on the street to access these "public" folders These records contain information that is not really public. How can I determine the user name and the password to use when I re - select the password option?

    I have not implemented 'users' on each machine. Maybe it's the access protected by a key. ???

    This issue has been resolved by my realization that the Wi - Fi protected by, only those who have permission can also access these "public" files Since only those who authorize have access to this same address wireless, it is unlikely that others would be able to view these files.

  • 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?

    Individuals ([username] - PC\HomeUsers)

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.

    I open my account users (without lock) and try to access my music folder it tells me

    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?
