When I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.
original title: require authorization of the SYSTEM
I decided to do a clean install of the latest Windows 7 RC yesterday and today crossed and have started to remove some programs on a separate hard drive so I could reinstall their own. However when I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file. I am using an administrator account, but I can't just simply delete the file. I tried going to and change the owner to my account or administrators, close it, change the security permissions to allow me to have full control, and then I can finally remove it. The problem is, I have to do for all the files one by one in the folder, and I wonder if there is an easier way to go about this, or if I can access the user of this SYSTEM and just delete them all from there. Thanks for the help.
Hello
Not trying to resurrect the old discussions, but I'll answer anyway because this thread came on top of the list of search results when I searched for "you need permission to the SYSTEM; I hope this will help everyone.
Note: here, "the record" as a subject refers to the folder that you want to remove.
Step 1: Go to the built-in Administrator account, you can do so by following these steps:
a. go to control panel > system and security > administrative tools
b. on the left panel, go to local users and groups > users. You should now see a list of users on your computer
c. right click on the administrator account that appears in the list and select Properties
d. uncheck "account is disabled" and confirm by pressing OK
Step 2: Connect to your newly activated administrator account
Step 3: Now, we start to configure the security settings that will allow you to remove this folder which was (perhaps) held by the SYSTEM:
I'm going to make the assumption that you want to remove a folder and all its subfolders along
a. right click on the folder
b. go to the security on the top tab
c. click on the Advanced button which is at the bottom
: Step 4 the first part to configure security settings to set the owner of the folder:
a. go to the owner on the top tab
b. click the button change located downstairs
c. There should be a list of accounts to choose to change the property, this is located under the label "of a change in ownership:'"
(d) the entry 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should be there; If this isn't the case, then add it to the list:
-Click on the button "other users or groups...". "who's down
-Under the label "enter the object name to select (examples):', there should be a text field you can type into it;" type in "Administrator" (without the quotes of course)
-Click on the "Check names" button which is located on the right. 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should now be there _For itself_; Well, if not, then you must remove the line that does not represent the administrator account that you are currently
-Confirm by pressing OK; It will now appear on the list of accounts, you can choose from
e. now, select 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' from this list
f. check 'Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects' to propagate our change
g. press OK to confirm. a message should now pop-up window, which says to re - open the properties. Do by pressing all the buttons OK see you
Step 5: now that we have the owner of the folder, we still not done. There is one crucial step left which is to remove permissions inheritable:
a. Repeat step 3 to learn to re - open properties and get to "Advanced security settings"
b. go to the permissions on the top tab
c. click on the button "Change permissions" which is down
d. at the bottom, there should be 2 check boxes:
-' Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object': deselect this. When you do so, you will get a warning on the parameters of parent is not not able to spread. Select 'Add '.
-' Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable this object': check this
e. press OK to confirm. Windows will warn you this time; Click OK
f. reconfirm by pressing OK; now, you should get to properties again
Now, you shouldn't have all the warnings about the SYSTEM do give you permission as he attempted to perform actions on this issue.
All the boxes to change the permissions on the accounts (properties > Security > Edit) must now be enabled, and you can tinker around with it.

I am the administrator of the account. I can't remove the residue of some programs because of this message. As usual made all the bits to find the answer on the forum of Microsoft and other sites. None of them helped me so far. I also tried the modified permissions and changed a key .reg property. But nothing happened.
It is dangerous to change the permissions of system, programs and registry locations. These are tight to protect against malware that exploit the administrative accounts and compromise the entire system.
The "residue" would be solve by using the uninstall utility program.
That said, if you do not need to manually delete a folder, just be vary close. For example, appropriating and remove a specific program of record, not all of the "Program files". Basically, do not apply a new authorization to all the program files just to remove one file of boredom. If you keep in mind, you open any hole by making changes to the authorization.

When I try to load MS Office 2010 on my lap top, Iget an error message saying load MS XML version 6.10.1129.0. Where can I find this file to download?
Hello
You can download here (the good language):
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=6276
If you have Win XP, then you have the 32-bit version of your operating system - so the right file is "msxml6_x86.msi". And you must have min. SP2 installed.

Did you go digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, connect with the Adobe ID and accept the terms of use? If this is not the case, do using a computer. You can't do this from a mobile device. This is not an automatic process, you must do it manually.

New HP laptop, Intel processor running Windows 10 (so I find it almost impossible to find something useful on the computer system - I'm NOT a fan of Windows 10).
(I have a Mac and an iPhone at home, so am very familiar with iTunes)
Downloaded iTunes for PC version 12.3.3 (which shows in my downloads as iTunes6464.exe)
But when I try to install the package I get an error message saying "you cannot install this program on a PC. Contact the Publisher of the software. »
No previous iTunes installs on this computer... I have on this machine - it's the only other Apple Quicktime software.
I'll hop on the site of HP support too, but would like to help here, if they are available.
Kath
Specific advice Apple seem to be uninstall QuickTime, it should no longer be necessary and has a few potential security vulnerabilities. See Uninstall QuickTime 7 for Windows - Apple Support.
Assuming that you have a 64 bit system, this facility expected to be compatible. For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. More information area has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, need to install an older version , or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software. It can help with the right button on the downloaded Setup program and use the run as Administrator option.
