Using administrator doesn't work does not correctly?

I am trying to clean up my hard drive and need to delete the old files & folders.  When I go to delete, I get an error response that I am not recognized as the administrator.  I was able to make the right click sometimes and just click the administrator and it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I want to configure my PC so when I want to delete some time I always recognized.  I am the only person using this machine and it's a pain in the neck to have to go through the process of right click all the time.  Help please!

You must take possession of the files and folders you want to delete.

Follow these steps:
a. right click on the file or folder, click Properties and then click the Security tab.
b. click Advanced and then click the owner tab.
c. click on edit and then do one of the following:
· To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups and, in the enter the object name to select (examples), type
name of the user or group and then click OK.
· To change the owner to a user or a group is listed in the change owner to box, click the new owner.
d. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the replace the owner of sub containers and objects check box.
e. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:
You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the directory permissions permissions
granting you full control?
All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.
f. click OK and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

Additional remarks:
· An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.
· Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control.

  • with firefox 43 yahoo and yahoo mail doesn't work does not correctly

    With the help of win 7 and firefox 43.0.1, I have 4 computers and now all have problems with yahoo and yahoo mail doesn't work does not correctly. Loading sites, but most of the features are missing and clicking on what whether changes to the lists of text. I have disabled flash / anti-spam etc., cleared cookies and cache and even firefox loaded down once again and have upgraded, no help. I'm forced to use IE now.

    I tried Yahoo support, they said try Firefox... In any case, it's Firefox and I found a solution using the 'Refresh Firefox' button. Whatever the problem was fixed on two of my computers so far. Got to update my setting again but it's 10 m, compared to the 10 hours I spent trying all that is nothing.

  • Why is one of my 4 5893 Modules doesn't work does not correctly?

    Hello

    This is the configuration of my HW and SW:

    LabView 2013 SP1

    1 x cRIO 9076

    4 x NI 9853 CAN Modules

    CAN0 - 1000 Kbps, entry timeout = 0, OutputTimeOut = 10000, Module clock: 20 MHz

    CAN1 - 500 Kbps, entry timeout = 0, OutputTimeOut = 10000, Module clock: 20 MHz

    I worked on a program for a test system, where each Module 9853 control two devices (CAN0 and CAN1), the same type of systems is controlled by other 9853 3 Modules in parallel.

    So basically, I use exactly the same functions for each module. So far, everything has worked correctly on module 1, but now that I started to test all other modules I have the problem that Module 3/CAN0 does not correctly read the information.

    While watching the FPGA façade, I see that each 10000ms one value is read, but only on that ONE module (frames are sent every 1ms from my unit)

    I tested the HW itself using the included examples and it works correctly, the only difference is that the example used only 2 Modules, one to send data and the other to receive it.

    I included my FPGA program as an image, I really don't think there is a problem with my RT SW, because all the other modules are working properly. Basically, my SW FPGA bed CAN Modules and puts the information in a FIFO, if there is an error (no information), it will make a loop once more and check again.

    Thanks for your help

    I solved the problem, it was an error of configuration on my side.

    The entry for Module3 CAN1 time-out was set up NOT as 0ms and 10000ms as I thought! , so that was my reading for DUT3 loop run only every 10000ms.

  • WIFI doesn't work does not correctly after driver update

    I have a DESIRE 4 laptop 1023tu with operating system Windows 8 PRO. My WIFI works does not properly after the update drievr.

    Problems...

    1. When you try to connect to a wifi hotspot the quick adapter turns off and allows the card instantly

    2. after connected, sometimes no internet access and the problem turns off only after reconnecting to the netwrok after setting off.

    If the update doesn't work not for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. This philosophy can be applied to all updates.

    If there is no pressure or emerging reason to update to your PC or laptop works just great... do not update. (this is especially true when it comes to an update of the BIOS)

    For your question #2, the problem could be your wireless (modem, router or access point) which causes the connection dropped.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Ball control and keys doesn't work does not correctly!

    I have the curve 8330 and when I put in my unlock code and press the trackball, it acts as if im entering additional keys. When I finally get into the phone and try to press on the trackball, in its action, as if I am pressing the asterisk key. It does not correctly read the keys and is to register them as another key! Help pleaaase!

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.

    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered.

    Really, it is more common than you think.

    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.

    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)

    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).

    3. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    * Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):

    • Place the BB in a container of dry uncooked rice, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    • On top of all heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    • On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny
  • Caps lock key doesn't work does not correctly. New computer.

    My shift key does not work correctly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I push on it is difficult to ensure that it works. But used in a standard keyboard, it is a problem because I don't bang the keys. I have to keep retype phrases due to errors that it creates.

    Its a shame because my computer is new. In fact, within a month, it is the second time I have to look at the service center. First time because the memory of my computer showed I consumed 40 GB without even having saved/downloaded a single file/document. The repair center did not have an answer and reformat the computer. This problem has been resolved.

    Was so much happier with my Dell computer. Nothing fancy, but no problem.

    I have the same problem. the button is enabled as soon as the second or even third. you don't want to, but you have to take it back in service. Maybe it's a factory default.

  • Yahoo Mail doesn't work does not correctly

    I have the latest version of Firefox, which is OK and an older version that has problems with Yahoo Mail as well.

    Firefox 3.6.12 used to work with Yahoo Mail, but no more so there must be Yahoo which is something wrong and I do NOT put to level anything on this old laptop!

    Yahoo Mail simply does not work right. I try a NEW mail and there is no message body. Look at a mail only shows the header. IE 6 still works, but ILS (Yahoo) says that I need to improve - NOT!

    I have a newer netbook with VISTA (ARGHHHH!) and Firefox 7.0.1 and everything works except for a few glitches in the Add-ons.

    I'm seriously sick of UPDATES that don't work right! My netbook has had three versions of Firefox and other improvements for VISTA and things just work. And my laptop... too old for the new; Windows XP and VISTA or Win7 worked are the SHIT! And now that Apple ripped the heart of Motorola and Intel and Windows compatibility-highlight... ARGHHHH!

    Hi, Caltrop, based on what I read, I have a similar problem. Can you elaborate on what you have done to remedy this? I consider myself a technophile junior but was not able to decipher what you were saying. Perhaps to explain as I am a child could help make it easier for me to see your step by step resolution.

  • Ctrl key doesn't work does not correctly

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion 17-e031sa laptop bought only 2 weeks ago running Windows 8.  The CTRL key does not work as it should.  In general, I would like to use it with the left button of the mouse to select non-consecutive items for the copy, but this won't work for this function.  It doesn't seem to be the key itself, because it does not work in the combination of keys ctrl/alt/delete.  I tried to uninstall the keyboard driver and restart, but without success.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi riggy69,

    Sorry for the confusion, I knew that these keys would not do the function you're looking for. I wanted to know if these shortcuts worked using the CTRL key. So we can see if it works this particular function or all keys ctrl shortcuts work. Quick access keys did what they were supposed to do? For example, the Ctrl + X cut the selected text, or Ctrl-Esc opens the start menu?

    Trying to see if there something wrong with the key itself or is someone wrong with this particular feature you try.

    Thank you

  • PrintScreen of Windows 7 doesn't work does not correctly

    Not sure if it is in the correct category but... I downloaded Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit from my school DreamSpark account and installed on my computer, which is pretty old about 5-6 years.  There should not be anything wrong with the copy of Windows, it is not a debug or whatever it is, it's just the regular retail copy.  Almost everything works fine except for a few small quirks/bugs.  First of all, I can't preview images using the Windows Viewer, it displays simply all the rectangles fully black images.  However, if I open an image to preview in Image Viewer, and then click full screen/slide show then it displays the images as should be in full screen.  And then exit fullscreen Gimme the picture in black and white.  Not a particularly serious issue just annoying really.  In addition, perhaps in relationship I guess, I recently discovered that my Windows PrintScreen does not work.  When I hit PrintScreen, or any variation of the PrintScreen key combination, it captures just a large black rectangle, as if my entire screen showed only in black.  I tried to paste my Clipboard into Paint and Photoshop and both give me a black monitor rectangle size, it's really weird.  I even tried a third-party screen capture software and it's the same thing and I can't find anything even close to relevant on the internet.  Anyone have any ideas, anything is appreciated.

    Another separate problem: when I turn on my computer, it will sometimes, not often but enough times to be meaningful, decide to not turn it on and recognize my keyboard and I have to restart and I hope that he do it again.

    Last thing, I swear (I should probably do different missions).  My computer, as in my windows, does not sleep properly.  Sometimes, he won't in the mode 'sleep' and every time I try and wake him up it gives me a white, white I think, screen instead of the login screen.  If I press space to unlock my computer, because there is no password, it will take me on my desk but he will not recognize my internet connection ethernet or my desktop speakers and I have to restart my computer to get these features.  Once again a lot of what I think are really weird problems.  Any ideas on any of my problems is greatly appreciated.

    I think that this problem is due to the difference in version (11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3)

    Hello

    I don't think that the other version is giving the problem.

    It seems that the SCOTT user doesn't have access to this table in the remote database.
    It seems odd if you say that the IND_NAMES table doesn't exist in the remote schema SCOTT.

    Could you run the following statements and see the objects owned by the user SCOTT in remote db?

    SELECT * FROM user_objects@droplater;
    

    If the table exists in the remote schema SCOTT should appear in the output among other objects belonged schema SCOTT.
