"Need administrators permission".

Hi guys

Some time ago I got the Win7 64 bit OS reinstalled. The guys who did it made a copy of the old road data, and after reinstalling that copied on the c drive, so I could copy all the old files turn it back on for the reinstalled system. I copied what I needed and delete the ones that I didn't need more.

The problem is that I can not remove the old Windows folders and program because it keeps asking me for permission. I tried everything I could to take control, but it is always the same and will not delete. It's a pain because it is reading these files in my backup image.

I'm not the biggest tech PC, if someone can give me a step by step guide simple on what I can do to take control of this folder and subfolders?

Hi Graham,

I suggest you to refer to the suggestions from the following link and take the permission of the files, folders and try to remove them.

  • in the right user account after the connection in the task bar icon flashes "windows need your permission to continue".

    I got a virus in my Vista computer cse.exe the so-called fake-AntiVirus. He has changed the file association for exe files. I fixed it and and deleted the program as well as its footprint in the registry. The virus attacks when I was in a non-administrative account. Therefore, any changes made to the registry were in the CURRENT_USER section.
    Still a problem. If I connect as User1 [non-admin] before any other action is taken, I see a tab flashing in the taskbar. It says "Windows needs your permission to continue". If I try to remove it the Explorer window dies and I get a clean screen with wallpaper and I have to restart. Of course if I provided the 'root' password every thing seems OK. I tried to identify any processes that can ask something looking at the tables Task Manager but don't see anything suspicious. If I do not touch the flashing tab I open the other Wndows Explorer since the icons I have on the desktop and NOT additional UAC asks pop up. The computer so that these experiences if offline. There is an another non administrator account on this computer. If I connect you no problem can be observed. Everything happens only in the account where the virus attacked.
    Any idea? Can I find out what program is doing admin type of request?

    Hi Victor,


    How to remove the virus from the computer?
    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Scan your computer with Microsoft Safety scanner for viruses and check if that helps.
    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.
     
    Method 2: Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Note: SFC system gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonce or commands sfc /scanboot to repair its contents.
     
    Method 3: To fix an account corrupted, please follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
     
    Method 4: To find out which program makes admin request type, check Event Viewer and check if that helps.

  • Need administrator permission, but I'm the one!

    I can't register my Quickbooks data on an external drive because I need the permission of the admisistrator... but I am the administrator.  So I save locally and transfer the file by hand.  Why is it necessary?

    So today I tried installing the HP software for my printer and ran into a need for the permission of admisistrator.
    I went to the control account to see if I could find something useful.  I tried to disable user account control, but he got the same result.  I've read several questions and answers about similar problems and that you have not found all the solutions which seem to work.  I tried to run the installer as administrator... same result.  I tried compatibility mode for Windows XP sp2... same result.  All the rest either didn't apply to my system or I didn't understand it.

    Hello

    Thank you for using Microsoft answers.

    Follow the instructions below that may help you resolve the issue.

    Method 1:

    If an administrator needs to edit or change the permissions on any file or folder, then the ownership of the file should be taken. The owner can always change permissions on an object, even when all access to the object.

    Follow the instructions to take possession of the external drive.

    1. right click on the drive and select Properties.

    2. in the Properties window, select the Security tab.

    3. click on the button Advanced on the Security tab. In the advanced security settings, select the owner tab.

    4. here, you can view the current owner of the file and also the ability to change their owner. Click the button change downstairs.

    5. here, you can select the new owner of the file and apply the settings. You get a warning that you must close the file and open it again for the settings to take place of safety.

    6. now, the owner of the file is changed to the new user.

    Method 2:

    In Windows Vista, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default. In previous versions of Windows, an administrator account was created automatically during Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE) with a blank password.

    An account administrator with a blank password is a security risk. To better protect the system, the built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in all new installations and upgrades of Windows Vista.

    I have a user account, but the type is standard user... I can't create an administrator user... because when I press on it see something that says that WINDOWS needs YOUR permission TO CONTINUE to create... Fix this please...

    To create an administrator account, you must be...
    (1.) an administrator
    (2.) to connect to the existing administrator account, or in possession of an administrator password.
    If you do not have all of the above, forget it.

    When the system asked you for permission, you should click on continue or enter the Admin password. If you could not do either, it means that you don't have administrative rights to do what you want.

  • You will need administrator permission.

    This error has become a nightmare for me. I've been struggling with almost a week now.

    I am trying to copy file from my hard drive on my new laptop (windows 7, dell 14z). Some files are throwing error, you will need administrator permission to copy this file, in spite, I logged in as an administrator.
    I gave all the tests with the evolution of the property, all permissions, removing UAC all... no help at all.... PLEASE suggest something.
    SARA

    This occurs because the files on your desk belong to a user that is different from the user of the laptop (or different passwords). In asserting the admin rights every time, you tell Windows that you don't care about file property. There are two ways to solve the problem:

    • Use the same account & password on the laptop that you use on the desktop.
    • Take ownership of files and folders: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/24bdf172-2dbc-43b8-995d-a99b6a81413c/
    If it does not, then it is likely that your files are encrypted. You must decrypt before copying them.

    Please help me!

    Sriram salvation,

    Have you tried the suggestions in the previous answer?

    I suggest you to disable the antivirus application and check the status of the issue. Refer to the following steps:

    a: you should see an icon for your Antivirus program in the taskbar notification area. It is usually at the bottom right of your desktop.

    b. click the third-party security software, you will see a pop up.

    (c) in this pop and select the option to disable, click on it.

    d. now third-party security software will be disabled.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Please let us know if you need assistance.

    You probably want confirmation from an Adobe employee and I do not work for the company, but its completely legal to post images and videos done with and on Photoshop that you use a legal version of the software. Of course if you copy videos from someone else so they can possibly file a lawsuit against you for plagiarism or copyright violation, but I suspect that your not likely to do
