• 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.

• Windows Installer is not correctly installed

  While trying to install updates for Adobe Reader (current version is 9.3) failure, asking me to run Adobe Reader repair.  Then tells me that Windows Installer is not correctly installed or does not.  This is a 64-bit of Windows Vista Dell computer.  The same error message also appears with MS Office updates.

  We will try to repair Windows Installer (I guess it was properly aiinstalle at a time or you would have had a lot of problems other software installation).  We will try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility at:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml and see if that solves the problem.

  If this does not work, what is the EXACT message you get on Windows Installer and when does it appear?  When the problem started?  Which version of Windows Installer you are using and which version has problems?  A new version has been installed recently, and it is this new version with the problem?  Which version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?  What are you installation requires Windows Installer, which causes this problem (name and version of the program)?

  I hope this helps.  Keep me updated, and please answer my questions in your next reply if necessary.

  Thanks and good luck!
