Take possession of the System32 folder

I have problems to install things like Visual Studio, the GPU drivers, printer drivers, file transfer from desktop to a folder on the desktop do not let me use or delete the new file, update Windows Defender and who-knows-what else that gives me an error immediately. Understood the problem with the GPU drivers by taking possession of the 'pilot' and 'DriverStore' files in the System32 folder with 'Appropriate' in the context menu. My old PC is running the same OS without any problem at all.
Tried to buy permissions System32 the usual way, but I get an error. For the "pilot" and 'DriverStore', I used the context menu. It works, but it gives me the permissions (Administrator) AND I (users) defines as the owner. I just want to have permissions to change (installation, etc.) things and let the owner of the same. Now, the owner is not the same thing in other folders. SYSTEM and TrustedInstaler all the way with different permissions for them. Generally 'Users' have 3 permissions, 'Administrator' has 0 permissions, 'TrustedInstaler' has 1 authorization, "CREATOR OWNER" has 0 permissions, 'SYSTEM' has 0 or each authorization. Sometimes, there are even my username with 0 permissions, but especially it is not at all here.

I already tried to solve crash Visual Studio start in a forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/7703213f-6977-4e51-a4ea-8c2835b5d383/visual-studio-2012-express-for-desktop-crash-after-startup
but they pointed me here. Now, I know for some that this mess of property is the problem in all.

1. is it safe to take ownership of the whole System32 or even Windows folder?
2. how to set full control in permissions without getting an error?
3. as a last resort: if I format my HARD drive and do a clean install, will this problem persists? Or is there a way to prevent it from happening?

1. is it safe to take ownership of the whole System32 or even Windows folder?

-> No, this isn't. This could destroy your system.

2. how to set full control in permissions without getting an error?
-> You do not because he didn't need to. To install the software, right click on Setup, then click "Run as Administrator".

3. as a last resort: if I format my HARD drive and do a clean install, will this problem persists? Or is there a way to prevent it from happening?
-> It's a perception problem that does not exist when you adopt methods applicable to the installation of a program.
In other words: leave the Windows folder and its subfolders only.

  • Cannot replace the authui.dll in the system32 folder

    Yes I know I'm not supposed to do that, but I want to change the Vista login screen.  I copied and edited the original authui.dll, but when I try to ' move and replace "/" copy and replace "it in the system32 folder, nothing happens - screen flashes as if the file has been moved, but when I check, there is no authui.dll in the system32 folder.  I opened the file in Reshacker and has replaced the original authui.dll file with my changes successfully but the result is the same in both cases: Vista does not accept an edited version of authui.dll and the login screen remains black with only a slider and I'm forced to use sytem restore to restart vista.

  • Take possession of the key to register via command line

    Is there a way to take ownership of a registry key without having access to the registry? Editing the registry is disabled, I could activate normally using command line, but I don't have permission to change the key. I was wondering if so there is a way to take possession of the key by command line, so I can set the button to activate the registry change.

    Give this extract a whirl:

    ... If the registry editor has also been disabled, you will not be able to run registry changes to fix the rest of the problems, then you must first activate the command registry editor run.  Even if the registry editor is not broken, these commands are safe to run.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

    Tracking Add HKCU/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

    Tracking Add HKLM/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

    Now try your registry editor.

    If you inflict not on purpose to this situation on your system, no doubt there are other things on your system that are also affected... we can fix them then.

  • Why should I copy of a CVI DLL compiled in the System32 folder?

    Hello

    I've been letting the compiler CVI copy of a DLL (project) in the windows\System32 folder.

    It was mainly to leave more than 1 other executables CVI, installed in different folders under \Program Files\

    Discover and share this code of the DLL.

    In addition, when you build the kit distribution for the DLL, I directed the DLL must be installed in the System32 folder.

    When you introduce this concept in a review to an other software engineers, a mechanic found that the System32 folder should be reserved for windows, hardware drivers, etc.. My CVI DLL needs to reside in the working folder of the executable main partner, or any other location. His concerns were uninstalling and updating process, and if the DLL were at a location specified by the installer, it would be easier to follow, etc..

    I'm assuming that NEITHER recommended CVI to "COPY IN the \Windows\System32 folder. Why?

    Should my fellow engineer some friendly advice?

    [BTW, he used NEITHER CVI occasionally, especially with other languages]

    Thank you ALL

    Scott Youngren with CVI 8.1.x

    Hi Scott,.

    Even if we are aware of them or not, most programs use System32 as their destination of DLL.

    I myself wouldn't mind too much about.

    Have you seen this document?

    You can install to a different location and use the PATH environment variable where you can not convince that system32 is ok.

  • Is it possible to add programs to readers separated at the Run dialog box without putting a shortcut in the system32 folder?

    When I want to run something from the Run dialog box, I just type the name of the program.  For example, to use the command prompt, simply type cmd.  But some program I have to type its full path.  The only way around this is to put a shortcut in the system32 folder.  Only, I forgot that I put it there, and I often erase it as a kind of Trojan horse.  I don't like things like nonwindows randomly in my system32.  Is this in any way about this?  I put a shortcut in the %ProgramFiles%, but it seems random with a shortcut to chance here.  In addition, if the shortcut is located in a folder in system32 or %ProgramFiles%, it won't work.  Shortcuts in the %windir%\System32 too much work, but makes me more suspicious of my own files.

    This is precisely what concerns the environment variable "path".

    The applications that you want to be able to run in a directory on your disk to another.  If, for example, you have a dirve D:\, you could create a directory named D:\MyApps and place the executables in D:\MyApps.

    • Open the system properties (right click on my computer > properties)
    • Click the Advanced tab
    • Click the "Environment Variables" button
    • Scroll down in the "System Variables" box until you find the variable "Path".
    • Select 'Path', then click on change
    • Go to end of the text in the edit window, and then type a semicolon followed by the path to the directory you created for your applications.
    • OK your way out.

    Be careful when you change the path variable that you add only.  If you delete the existing path variable (or part of it), it is likely that something no longer works correctly.

  • Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

    When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

    «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

    The full, first part, follow these steps:

    1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
      Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
      MD tmp
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
      Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
      Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

    There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

    copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

    You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

    But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

    Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

    If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

    Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

    You can either make the step remove first:

    delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

    or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

    Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

    Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

    1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

    2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

    3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

    I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

    If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

    If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

    1. In 'My Computer' (or simply 'computer' now), click on the drive and choose Properties.
    2. On the Security tab, click Advanced.
    3. On the owner tab, change the owner to be your username (you will need to search for and select your user name).

  • Cannot take possession of the hard drive Partition

    I have a partition on my hard drive to store media. OS is XP home SP3. For some reason, I didn't have full access to certain folders on the partition so I tried to change the permissions for the entire score. I don't remember exactly what I did, but the main thing is that I have more access to the root of the partition. (I can always access all files using the file Explorer). I tried to appropriate the partition via the safe mode and the administrator account, but it won't allow me to take this way. I also tried to merge with the c drive partition using partition magic, but I had an error half way through the process. I suppose that the permissions would not happen. I read on the internet that "you can always take ownership' and I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

    Can someone help me?

    Manually apply permissions to a file or folder, follow these steps. Manually apply permissions, it's something that only advanced users should do because you could end up with unexpected results.

    1. right click on the file or folder and then clickProperties.

    2. click on the tab Security and then clickchange.

    3. If you want to set permissions for a user who is not listed undergroup or user names, click Add, type everyone in the name of the user or group, clickOK, select permissions and then click OK.

    Hello

    First stop of VMware Workstation, then go and have a look at the folders where are stored the your virtual machines.

    It is likely that you will see some .lck .lock files or folders. Which ones you will see (lck or lock) depends on the version of your VMware product.

    Delete these files (move them to another folder if you are more comfortable with it), and then return to VMware Workstation.

    Reopen the virtual machines and chances are big enough to make them work as they used to be.

    Good luck!
