Random messages "you must be authorized to perform this action."

When you try to open or move files or folders, I randomly get a message access denied, telling me that I need permission to perform this action. Completely random, sometimes happens with new files that I just downloaded or of old files that I have didn't open for a few weeks. But not with all the files. I just got the same message just now moving a file on my desktop. I found a quick solution by opening the file or the folder properties and by adding my name of the computer on the Security tab and changing the permissions, but I have to repeat the process. How can I stop this happening so that I can just go back to re-use my files?

When you have activated the built-in account of Adminnistrator was the persistent on your user accoount problem?

  • I get "you must be authorized to perform this action."

    I get "You have authorized to perform this action" when trying to write to a disk of 1 TB FAT32 tied and shared correctly

    I have exactly the same problem with the blocker permission on all my computers. I also have complete owner/administrator (what you call full property rights) for my 2 PC and 1 laptop. All are able to connect to the internet and to use and extract the files on the external hard drive 1 t (which is plugged into the router as a network drive with a USB cable).

    But... When I try to write 'IN' the reader, who... is when the delay '' no permission box '.

    I tried different users, in correspondence of the names and passwords for the computer to go to the and with users in the admin with the reading and writing group but no luck.

    All support the linksys gives only examples XP. I am running windows 7 64 bit

    Woo Hoo! I found the solution to this problem on my own after MANY, MANY hours with support of Symantic(for Norton360), Cisco Linksys (to the router) and the Magic network (for the software that came with the Wireless Linksys router). Symantic wasn't able to uninstall norton and reinstall and said: there is nothing wrong with their software and that there nothing more they can do.

    Network Magic basically and says the same thing.

    And... Finally and most importantly, Cisco. Cisco Linksys basically does the same thing as others for the firmware, but they came then with the light concludes that it must be a defective unit and they will send me a new.

    Well... It was not good enough for me; all my equiptment (including the router) works great since the 1st configuration about a year ago.

    Well... Here is how I fixed it:

    Once the correctly mapped network drive, go to "computer", right-click on your network drive, click Properties, open the Security tab, click the edit button, and there you go. Now you should see the account which still tell it that person's permission. If it is there as it should be, click on this account to highlight, then the permissions wish you to have. Click on apply and ok. You should now be able to edit, add, delete, etc. your files now.

    My only problem with this is: Whence this account and why he did by default without changing the permissions, AND MORE important AGAIN (you will discover if you try to do) WHY can I NOT DELETE THIS ACCOUNT. When / if I find the answers to these last questions, I'll post it here. So, if you are iterested in this case, come back. I'm rain to get to the bottom of this.

    For now, I will let Cisco send me the new unit, because this new mysterious account can be a hacker who penetrated machines via the router somehow. If this is the case, my theory for how this can happen is: all linksys units come by default with easy access with a user/pass as admin/admin. I would strongly suggest that you go into your router on the tab configuration administrations; customize the password router AND on the storage tab; in the section "User management", click the "Edit" button and customize the admin password (make sure you write down your new password and what they goto)

    The startup folder should be placed somewhere other than the OS partition, while the repair has been made.  They are both necessary and moving them can cause problems.  If you continue to remove them, I'd do a backup first.  You could try to remove in safe mode, or try to remove with a 3rd party app called Treesize (by Jam software).  If these two you could take possession of their (google it).  Either the 'system' or the trusted installer currently has the files even though an admin you can not delete them.

    This isn't a problem.
    It's a design to prevent unauthorized users to perform certain tasks.
    Installation and uninstallation are some of these tasks that require administrator rights.

    If you are not an administrator, or you do not have an administrator password, you can not install or uninstall.
    Not another way around it.
