Windows 7 - access to the file permission problems

I have a new laptop of Dell M4700 with Windows 7 64-bit, and file access permissions are create chaos.

When I open a file for editing, the computer only wants to save - under a different file name, not simply to save the existing file.  This occurs in Notepad and several other programs.  It's the same thing that hit the button "save under" instead of simply register.

Several times at the opening of files, in particular on external drives, the file will only open read-only.  I can copy the file to the local hard drive, and it works normally.

So far, I tried the following:

  • I have administrator rights.
  • I went through and all the property of the files changed for me.
  • Make the read-only attributes of course removed
  • Run programs as an administrator
Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you don't have permission in writing to these files.

To resolve or explain it, you look at the permissions on the file/folder and they are explicitly defined or inherited from the parent folder (or higher).  When it comes to permissions, administrators are users like everyone else.  Directors may be refused or permissons to files or folders like any other user.  Even the file owner can change permissions such as he is denied access to its own folder.  The only advantage that owners and managers have is permission to change permissions.

You need view the permissions currently in effect for that file.  Usually, this is done:

Right click on the file / folder-> properties-> tab 'security '.

At the top will be list users and groups with permissions and if you click on it, the bottom window displays their permissions.   Learn more about this everything is there:

"Together, see, change, or remove permissions on an object.

This will lead to other links which provides information on how to set permissions.

  • Lost access to the files on the hard drive.

    After you use the SYSTEM RESTORE, my office has lost access to all my files of data written and the pictures on the hard drive.

    Hi Alan,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have lost access to the files of data and images after doing a system restore.

    I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions to help you best:

    1. Why did you perform a system restore?

    2 do you have questions about the computer?

    3. If so, please specify the question to better help you?

    4. What are the data and images file format?

     

    System Restore will return all your files non-system as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system.

    Based on the current situation, I suggest you to Undo a restoration of the system after performing a system restore.

    1. What is the complete message you receive?
    2. Which site did you download the fonts on the computer?

    Method 1

    I suggest you to use the link below to download new fonts on the computer and check if it helps.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I get this error where, when I start Photoshop, I get a popup saying "can't load Photoshop because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary privileges...." "Use them command 'properties' in Windows Explorer to open the file. I have unlocked access to everyone for the 64-bit and 32-bit version still does not work. The only way to make it work is by going to Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) and manually start as administrator.

    Everything was working fine until today. Help, please!

    If it worked before, and you have made any hardware or software changes, you can reset the preferences.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer
