Why have I permission to open my files? I'm the only user on my computer.

I have used all versions of windows except Vista and I am amazed by the level of intrusion of Windows 7.  I have an external hard drive that has been the essential motivation of an old laptop with Windows XP SP2.  I keep all of my old photos, music and various junk in it.  Tonight, I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to look at the OLD photos for years (which were originally on a Windows 98 computer).  Never, I have placed restrictions on the files on this disc.

Windows 7 says I'm not allowed to open more than half of the images.  They're just JPEG files.  ARE YOU SERIOUS?  I have been bothered by this obnoxious 'permissions' system when I met first of all he's trying to move and unpack patches in the directory program files.  Now this is getting ridiculous.  Why can't some images while others are in the same folder?

Please, if anyone can help me to disable these blocks "permissions" on my computer, it would be greatly appreciated.  I don't care if it make me more vulnerable to the virus, these pictures come from my childhood.  I'm ready to burn this point of sale, I am so frustrated with this garbage.

How to grant permissions in Windows 7

1. Locate the file or the folder where you want to take in charge in Windows Explorer.
2. right click on the file or folder and select properties from the Menu
3. click on the Security tab, then click the button change. Click OK to confirm the UAC elevation request if necessary.
4 Select user/group permission windows or click Add to add other user or group (you may need to do this for multiple users - ex: administrator and your own user account).
5. now under permission section check the rights you want for the user that is to say 'Total control' in the "Allow" column to assign the rights to full access control permissions to the user.
6. click OK for changes to take effect and click OK again to exit the Properties window.

  • Error message when you try to attach the document to an e-mail message: you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner of the file... for permission

    I can't attach documents to hotmail or my e-mail from work using Firefox. I have not tried another such search engine as suggested in other posts with similar but different questions. Yesterday a pop-up asked me permission for Firefox to access my documents and clicked on 'no '. I had never seen this pop-up request before if I didn't take the risk that it be a virus. A month ago I was able to attach documents to my email.

    Using Windows Explorer, I moved my documents from the folder 'libraries' to 'myfolder' under computer. Not sure if they had moved or if it was just a temporary solution of fluke, but I could send my documents successfully. There was malware that has been found through one of the links provided by an answering machine, but even if the malware has been removed, the issue has not been resolved.

  • I am trying to download a patch for a game on the internet, but whenever I try, a message appears saying that I don't have administrative rights to install a patch. I am the only user of a computer. How can I fix it?

    I tried to use the administrative tools to solve this problem, but nothing seems to think it would work in this situation.

    Floop51,
    Can you let us know which game is that you have problems with?  If so he can help us solve this problem.  I suggest to try two things.  First would be to perform a clean boot and competitions.  Then create a new admin user account, and then test the game for this user.  Here are links to articles on these steps.

  • I can't open my pictures folder. Error message says I don't have permission! I ran disk utility and found no errors. How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user.

    Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.

    How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?

    Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.

  • Why can't I open INDD files using exactly the same InDesign CS6 product I've used to create them?

    I tried to modify the work sent by another designer. He sent me the INDD files (as part of the packages) but I could not open in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6. My computer told me that I had not any software installed that could open the file. While searching on the forums, I thought it could use InDesign CC, that for some reason any crazy I can't open INDD files created using the CC version and so I have to send him the IDML files. OK, fine, he sent me the IDML files.

    IDML files open correctly in my version of InDesign CS6. Large. They open in the form of documents not saved, so I save them as files InDesign CS6. OK, well. Except that I can't open files INDD, that I just created. Yet once, my computer tells me that I don't have any software installed that can open the file. But how can this be? I just create the files using this software!

    If I do a test. I can't open a file that I create from scratch? N ° it seems that I can't open INDD files in my version of Windows of InDesign CS6, even if I create them from scratch. Can anyone help?

    I found an answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2604646

    1. I opened Windows Explorer and went to tools >... Folder Options > File Types.
    2. I selected INDD and click Advanced.
    3. I chose the action open and press edit.
    4. I went to Adobe InDesign (for some reason any, that adobe does not appear in Program Files by default, but if I go to Program Files and then type Adobe in the zone file name and touch open then I can browse the Adobe programs).
    5. I chose InDesign and press open.
    6. Then back in the editing window of action, I added '%1' in the application used to perform action text box, so that all read: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\InDesign.exe" '%1 '.
    7. I entered indesign in the Application text box and then click OK.
    8. InDesign CS6 will now open INDD files. Finally!
  • I have 1 computer and I'm the only user - why are multiple users?

    Hello

    I don't know much about computers and terminology.  BIG PROBLEM.  I'm the only person on my computer, I'm not on any kind of 'network' or 'homegroup '... I constantly have problems that lead me to believe that someone has hacked my computer.  I honestly don't know how anyone could do this, but I have a few very strange settings, and I can't change!

    Under group or user names there are 4 names.  That's what I don't understand.  Should not be a single because I'm (or should be) the only person who has access to my computer?

    There are very suspicious files, folders and stuff on my computer and I have noticed in My Documents folder, there are a lot of files known as JScript Script file (js).   I have hundreds (or thousands) of strange files and folders I can't open or delete!  I can't believe that this is normal!  I have Norton and scans lift you own.

    I am extremely concerned because there is no one in my life, 'A', who has been personally harassing and stalking me for over a year.  I have received and continue to receive hundreds of pornographic and annoying emails (sent in an anonymous way), I am constantly being registered for most pornographic sites, and the list goes on and.  She has even copied pictures of me to my websites legitimate and used for its own purposes - essentially to embarrass me.

    This is driving me CRAZY!  And Yes, this person has always been incredibly hateful and full of a strange kind of "vengeance."  The police are without help.  The district attorney has been without help.

    My basic question is - am I paranoid, or is my computer to access remotely?

    I'd appreciate any help, comments, opinions, and others.  Thanks in advance.

    Here's how you can run a robust show:

    • Guest account . Keep him inactive.
    • Account named 'Administrator' : keep it inactive. It is too easy for hackers to guess.
    • Your own account : keep active and use a non-empty password. Some people recommend that there not administrator privileges. Mine is but then I practice "Safe Hex" (see below).
    • Save the account : every day I deal with messages from people whose password no longer works for some reason any. They are locked permanently from their computer. Have a backup with privileges to administrator account, it's a very easy way to work around this problem, as long as you keep a paper of the account folder.

    About your computer after having been hacked: it's impossible for me to say. You must have machine examined by an expert. If you have reason to believe that it has been hacked, then you must format the disk and reload Windows from scratch. The following measures would make it virtually impossible for a hacker to access your machine:

    • Use a hardware firewall to your Internet connection, such as a router.
    • Keep your Windows Firewall active at all times.
    • Keep your scanner active virus and up to date.
    • Be careful with attachments, especially those from strangers. They might be infected.
    • Even for drives flash you receive.
    • Be careful clicking on links on suspicious sites, especially those associated with pornographic, gambling and high pressure, selling content.

    Is there a way to 'batch' record as very? We have a customer who regularly sends files without all the embedded fonts. To clean the files for digital printing, save us as Postscript and pass them through Distller. "Save as Postscript is the longest part of the process, then I would be able to automate it.  Any ideas?

    This is the worst absolute way to embed fonts for PostScript through deletes dynamic transparency, color management, bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. Yucck!  You are in many ways to ruin the files, do not clean them.

    Acrobat Preflight has a correction for embedding fonts. Takes only a few seconds per file PDF. And if you have a bunch of these files, you can create an action to do this.
