To access the files with the appropriate authorization

Hello everyone. I tried to fix something that I screwed up a long time ago. Here's how it started. I have this drive external DRIVE that I keep my photo archive to. I was going to somewhere that I don't remember now, so I wanted to keep away from curious eyes. So I right click on the main folder and 'share with... '. Nobody ". I applied it to all subfolders and files, etc. So of course when I was there, I couldn't access my files either. He says I don't have permission to access. It's understandable. Then, some time later, my computer crashed and I had to install win7 all over again. That's when I realized that I blocked my own photos in a way. I couldn't access the files without changing the status of property. I've changed the status to everyone instead of specific individuals. I could access the files. OK boring part is almost finished.

Now I can access the files. But under certain conditions. I have recently (4 hours ago) installed win7. I still get the same error always which is the following:
[IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/5.jpg [line]
This is how I see the files/folders
[IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/1.jpg [line]
I have apart from the main folder through Group residential read/write first, then I have to go for the subfolders, select all the files and share them again
[IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/2.jpg [line]
then I result
[IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/3.jpg [line]
When I check the security options in detail, I see a number of unknown accounts as owners.
[IMG] http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/DarkTemplar21/4.jpg [line]
I always delete but they keep their appearance or it seems that way.
So I solved my problem by going to these steps. But I want also gives access to my files on other computers. I don't want to change owner every time I want to take a look at my photos somewhere else than on my own computer. Is there a way to solve this problem once and for all? or do I have to do this in a routine. It's very tiring to go all folders and share and delete owners etc.
Thanks in advance for your help. I promise you that I won't go anywhere near file sharing again.

OK, I got it, I changed the owner again at all for the entire disk. now I can access all the files. It really scared me for a minute there. Thank you once again.

    Hi Dany88,

    First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

    As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

    Important: 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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

    I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.

  • Trying to access the files on an external hard drive in XP with Vista... Access denied.

    My old laptop with XP died, so I purchased an external drive and installed my old hard drive in it. I now use Vista, but whenever I try to access the files I get a message saying that I don't have permission to access the files. I spent in and changed the settings in files to reflect property, yet I always refused. I have read the discussions and met some people with the same questions, but proposed solutions seem to be more confusing than the problem itself.

    These files have been encrypted? If Yes and you did not save your encryption certificate/key, the files are lost forever. If the files are not encrypted (and you can do this natively in XP Home), then appropriate should do the trick. Again, here are the instructions:

    1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab.
    3. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

    To open a file, you must have the read permission. For more information about permissions, see what are permissions?

    http://tinyurl.com/2j9vgr

    To take ownership of a folder:

    1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
    5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
    6. click on OK

    If after all this you may not always get the files, I just boot the system with a Linux Live CD or Live USB key and copy in Windows there because Linux does not respect ownership/permissions of Windows.

    You can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how, and it's very easy -http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

    I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

    I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

    I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

    I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

    The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

    Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

    A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

    There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

    I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

    As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

    I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

    Thank you.

    My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

    Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

    If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

    Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

    If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

    Go to AppData\Local

    Select all (Ctrl + a).

    Delete

    * Do not delete credentials (as it will remove their wallpaper) *.

    This allows to release the error.
