Remove the "lock" file sharing icon

I shared a folder on my desktop (Win 7) with the laptop (Win Vista) through a router. Now I want to remove the right click on the folder share > share > advance sharing > remove 'everyone' from the list. But a lock icon appears on the record (I think it means that nobody can be shared with this folder). How can I delete the icon as usual before "locking"?.

Yes, the padlock icon means that the folder is private nothing for you to see.  To avoid cluttering up the complete file with several icons of lock, the lock displays if this is the first folder level as private for yourself.  So if the parent folder was a lock, the folder below would not show the lock more because he has already known and assumed to be private.

If the short answer: set up a folder and set the folder parent to share with > draw and the lock will be move up to the next level.

  • Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

    There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

    ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

    If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

    And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

    You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

    Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

  • PC crashed during 6 start Lightroom. Now open habit. Can not find the lock file

    Hello.

    My PC stops inexplicably while Lightroom 6 began and then just rebooted. (Windows 7 i7 PC)

    Now Lightroom does not start and a "Catalog Adobe" said dialog box could not be opened because another application has already opened it.

    A quick search on the internet said the locking file must delete, but I'm not. An Adobe help page shows me:[username]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock C:\Users\

    First of all, I'm on LR6 and my start up programs are on a small SSD. So if I navigate on this hard drive, then program file Adobe\Adobe Lightroom I see many files, then a may list files. None gives me a clue to what is a lock file or look like lrcat.lock.

    I'm not very savy on a PC and would be grateful of urgent assistance. I tried to uninstall the program and then reinstall, but in vain.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi andys62004617,

    lock file is located in the exact location as well as your catalog.

    Search under Pictures\Lightroom\ Catalog.lock of Lightroom and delete (do not remove the .lrcat files because it's your main catalog)

  • Is there a way to remove the lock on the iPhone 6 s screen more?

    I am new to iPhone and now bought 6 s more. I want the phone to wake up and turn on my home screen, not a lock screen. Is it possible (as there was in Android) to remove the lock completely screen?

    Go to settings and disable the password... but that would be a wise thing to do in the event you lose your phone, then your data are for the taking.

    Also you can not disable the password, if you have a corporate email account on your phone.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

  • I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

    I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

    To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

    If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

    Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

    Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

    (a) start Windows Media Player.

    (b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

    (c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

    If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.

    (d) click on the Search button.

    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .

    For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

    Method 2:

    After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

    Open the troubleshooter in Windows Media Library

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

    Let us know the results.

    I hope this helps.
