Removal of the protected folders

Hi, when I replaced a hard to die, I saved the folder "program files (x 86)" on my desktop. I have now deleted all that I needed him and wants to remove it. I managed to delete all the files in the folder and subfolders, but I can't delete the folders themselves. I've updated my permissions so that I have full control and I signed up as an administrator on my computer, which is not on a network. I was able to rename the files, but when I try to delete them, it always says that I need the permission of the administrator. What can I do? Thank you!

The next thing you should try is to take ownership of this tree of files/folders.  By default, administrators are granted the privilege "TakeOwnership", so while logged on as administrator, open a command prompt window high as before.  When he arrives, try to take possession of these files by using the following command:

takeown /F C:\Users\quartet1977\Desktop\fluffy/a/r

The above command will [should] attribute ownership of the entire tree to the Administrators group.  Once you have the property, as an administrator user, you should be able to grant access to records:

ICACLS C:\Users\quartet1977\Desktop\fluffy/grant Administrators: F/t/c

Then after that, you should be able to delete the files.

If 'takeown' complains that you do not have privilege, then you should check to ensure that administrators have the privilege "TakeOwnership"...   From a command prompt, type:

gpedit.msc

When appears in the Group Policy Editor, navigate to:

Local computer policy-> Computer Configuration-> Windows settings-> security settings->

Local policies-> user rights assignment

and in the right pane, look for 'Take ownership of files or other objects' and check that this privilege is assigned to the "Administrators".

HTH,

JW

  • Delete/remove/replace the files/folders during recording

    Hello again.

    I am a simple script similar to the one you have probably already seen and used more than probably before (multiexporter.jsx by Tom Byrne) finish. My production department asked that we give them one PDF file per the artboard in the document with the specific export settings and an appropriate filename (based on the name of the artboard).

    I wrote a loop to save on each work plan with all the right settings... but now I'm on the problem of duplicates. It is very likely that I will have many names in double artboard, but they all need to be saved. By default, the files are overwritten by subsequent backup function. I spent that by adding a kind of number sequence at the end of the file name if a duplicate is found.

    The problem is now, I want the script runs correctly, regardless of whether or not the destination folder exists. For example, I have already run the script and saved my file .ai and PDF files. Now I realize that I had to make a change in the file and re - register (via script) and overwrite the files that I saved it the first time. Unfortunately, due to the sequence of numbers that I talked about above, I get all the old files, but also all of the new files in the folder.

    My first thought was to delete the destination folder and re-create. However, it seems that Javascript cannot do this. Should I just tell my artists that they must manually delete their records before they re - run the script? or is it possible to replace the folder while keeping the sequencing of files in the folder?

    Here is the code:

    #target Illustrator

    I just did a test, and Yes, it looks that you must first delete all the stuff in the folder. the remove() method returns a true or false value, so you can check if the file could be deleted or not.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing.

    Hi aymana10507726,

    With player application you can not remove the protection.

    However, you can perform using Acrobat application.

    Remove password security

    You can remove security from an open PDF if you have the permissions to do so. If the PDF is secured with a security policy based on server, only the author of policy or a server administrator can change.

    Open the PDF file, and then click Tools > Protect > Encrypt > remove security.

    Your options vary depending on the type of password security attached to the document:

    If the document contains only a Document open password, click OK to delete the document.

    If the document contains a permissions password, type it in the box, enter the password, and then click OK. Click OK again to confirm the action.

    Kind regards

  • Manual removal placeholder VMs when the protected virtual machine is removed

    We run SRM 5.5. We had some VMs protected, we need more, so they have been removed from the drive (I can't). When I found out about it, I went in SRM and removed the protection for these deleted virtual machines. Most of the VMS placeholder have been correctly removed by this procedure, however, I see still 2 VMs of space reserved for virtual computers that no longer exist. No idea why only these 2 (about 6) were not cleaned.

    My question: can I remove manually just these VMs placeholder? They are not in any group of protection, or the stimulus plan. And the protected virtual machines which correspond to these placeholders no longer exist. It's as if they are zombie placeholders. :-)

    There is no problem with me removing the VMs placeholder manually, y at - it?

    Hello

    Yes, its safe to delete the place holder vm.  Make sure the source VM is not protected and no replication is configured. Restart the SRM service.

    Thank you

  • Protected mode will be removed in the next version of exit

    We have identified a problem of major failure concerning the errors of PDF reader when 3rd party System.* called OpenSpan.

    We have identified the cause by removing protected drive to start the feature mode. We use v11.0.11 Reader and found that Pro edition v11 has protected the deleted startup mode.

    The safe_mode at the start feature will be removed in the next version of the player?

    Hi Marco.Lee,

    The next version of Adobe Reader 11 was released i.e. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC & he always has the option of protected mode. So I don't think there is such a plan to remove this feature.

  • Removal of the pw-protection of many documents using c. 11.0.4

    I hope someone can help me here. I'm at my wit's end after losing an hour and a half with a cat from Adobe who could not understand this.

    In earlier versions of Acrobat, could add pw-protection to several documents at once by using the batch and conversely, treatment we managed to REMOVE this pw-protection with a similar batch processing. Now I have about 150 documents that all have the same password, I have to take off because of the need for changes. In v. 11.0.4 However, this ability seems to have disappeared. The person cat said the only way to do this is to create an Action, but be ready to go in the pw for each file! 150 times! Surely, we didn't have back in this version? Say it isn't so!

    If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very grateful. It seems unfortunate that I have to go back to an older version to make this work (with the hassle of uninstall/install to start).

    Thank you

    If you want to replace the existing files, use the version that I have attached to this message.

  • Now remove the document folders in my office?

    I never knew/understood it was that libraries in Windows 7.  In my work as a transcriber I created documents word on my desktop in a folder with several subfolders for each customer.  I consider that I have word documents about 3,000 in all of these subfolders.  After that the search function in these subfolders has been suddenly don't give me no results, someone suggested that I right click on the folder of the office and "send to" Documents.

    This the desktop folder and all subfolders are now in libraries under My Documents directory, and the search for a particular Word document again results.

    But because I still don't understand the concept of libraries, if I now go back to the original on my desktop folder and delete it (in my mind I now duplicate all these Word documents -?), these documents will remain on my computer in the library directory?  Or delete the folder Office will cause me to lose my documents?

    Just to be clear documents/photos/music etc do not reside in libraries.  I don't think you can call shortcuts but they look like you can remove all the documents in the library it will not affect your documents.
