To change the permissions of all files & folders on my computer

Similar Questions

• I did everything listed to change the permissions of a file security, but I'm still able to display the items in the file.

  I right click on my images (from my disc K :) to access properties, click Security, highlighted my username (which is set to have all the permissions are checked), and when I return to open my images I am able to open the file but unable to actually see one of the photos in the folder.  All the icons are just clip like an ocean with a blue sky or a range of paintings instead of the actual photos themselves.  When I go into the advanced security settings, it shows me as the owner on the owner tab.  When I click the effective permissions tab and enter my name, all effective properties are checked.  After all this, I am still unable to see my photos.  It keeps telling me I don't have permission to access the file.

  Hello

  In Windows 7, the AllUsers folder is not a real file.

  It is a symbolic link that redirects to the C:\ProgramData folder.

  ProgramData is not hidden, by default.

  The correct syntax for the Attrib command would be,

  C:\>attrib h ProgramData

  You can view all files by going to the tab options\View Organize\Folder and research.

  In the section files and hidden files , place a check mark in the Show drives, folders and hidden files.

  Click Apply/OK.

• DW change the Permissions of file on FTP Upload

  I had this problem where Dreamweaver CS6 changes the permissions of the file downloading. I get a HTTP 403 error when you try to view the pages. I have to manually reset the permissions on each .html file after download. Sometimes, I have to go through the Server Manager and reset all the permissions for the site. It is not specific to a server, because it happened on three different servers. I am running OSX 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro.

  It is a known problem for a very small group of people. Adobe strives to isolate the source to find a solution.

  During this time, file a bug report official below with the details of your system:

  https://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmForm/index.cfm?name=wishform

  And use a dedicated FTP such as Filezilla or Cyberduck, app until Adobe fixes this problem.

• 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.

• How can I change the permissions for an external hard drive?

  Hi, I have a little problem... I used an external hard drive on my pc windows 10 and now I try to copy my files on my iMac, but the thing is I can't delete my files from my hard drive because I can only read them. So I want to change the permissions, but I do not know how... Can someone help me with this please?

  Thank you for your time.

  This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac.

  In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

  How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

  You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

  Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

  Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

  IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

  As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

  Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView

  File > Batch Conversion/Rename command.  If necessary, see IrfanView help on this topic.

• You want to change the permissions of the complete record of the default computer.

  Hello, a few days ago I updated my windows xp to windows 8 formatting. Now, divers show permission to open. I have change the permissions of the folder by clicking on the name of folder-properties-security-advance-permission & audit-user. But the other user cannot open the files but I can't. So their whole desire to restore full computer by default to any user permission can use it without any harassment.

  Thanks for the reply back Raju.  I just realized that you were referring to the readers.  A driver is software that communicates with the hardware devices.

• How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

  How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

  In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

  The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

  If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

  There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.
