• Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

  I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

  I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

  I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

  I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

  The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

  Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

  Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

  A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

  There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

  I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

  As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

  I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

  Thank you.

  My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

  Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

  If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

  Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

  If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

  Go to AppData\Local

  Select all (Ctrl + a).

  Delete

  * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

  This allows to release the error.
