Windows 7, ask permission to open each & every file/folder

Hello everyone!

Question: I'm using windows 7 (64-bit), whenever I try to open any file/folder "You are not allowed to open this file/folder" appears. Is it possible to disable these permissions? (Read the explanation below to properly understand my question)

Explanation:
Problem started a few years back. I did a guest account. Guest account was not allowed to access my "D" drive (read or write). After a while there was a problem and I could not log into the admin account I looked here and there but could not find any solution, so the ultimate solution was re-installing windows. After installing windows, when I open windows Explorer, I was very surprised to see that I don't have permission to drive D (as it has been limited by previous windows admin).
I followed after path D > properties > Security > continue > edit > add account Admin
I saw a s-1-5-21-456384692-283491759-102987398-1000bin, had a full training & admin (after re-installing windows) did not have access to the drive. I tried to delete this garbage, but it could not be so I've added my account and gives full access to the drive.
Now, the story begins...
When I gave full access to the admin, it's basically access to enter the D drive only. Inside the D drive no file/folder is available. Now to open any folder I have to repeat this path folder > properties > Security > continue > Edit > add account Admin but does not end, to re-open all the files inside this folder file >Properties > Security > continue > edit > add account Admin.

This problem is really disturbing. There are 20 GB of data in the D drive and I can't repeat this process for each file/folder
I followed after path D > properties > Security > continue > edit > add account Admin
I saw a bin s-1-5-21-456384692-283491759-102987398-1000,
-> Is not garbage, but the string to identify an account you deleted at some point. Given that the account doesn't exist anymore, you can remove this reference. You must first enter with the problem file.
Follow these steps to solve your problem in one fell swoop:
1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on the start planet.
3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".
6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
takeown /f D:\/a r d y
cacls D:\/t/c /G administrators: F System: F everyone: F
(Answer "Yes" when prompted "Are you sure?")

  • Windows Explorer is adjustable to open to a specific folder in Vista?

    TIA

    Tim

    Hi Tim,.

    To accomplish this task, you must change the Windows Explorer target area

    (a) click Start | All programs | Accessories.

    (b) right click Windows Explorer, and then click Properties.

    (c) change the path in the field target to point to the desired Windows Explorer folder to open.

    (d) click OK.

    (e) the key box is the target area. To change the shortcut to Windows Explorer to open a specific folder of your choice, enter the target as follows:

    c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, X:\Folder of your choice

    This will show a folder and all subfolders under him.

    Otherwise, you can try this out for a slightly different look:

    c:\windows\EXPLORER. EXE/n, / e, / select u:\Folder of your choice

    This will show the folder and all its subfolders is collapsed.

  • You don't have permission to open this PDF file

    Hello

    I have a new system with Windows 7 Pro.

    I can't open any PDF file if they are in the MY Documents folder.  If I use Adobe Reader or Nitro gives me basically the same thing. A setting error warning that I'm not allowed to access this file.

    The strange thing is that if the same file is in a different folder (for example public documents) they open smoothly.

    It is only when the file is located in My Documents they open and only pdf type.

    Any idea how to fix this problem apart from the obvious workaround solution working with other folders?

  • Explorer Windows stopped working at the opening of the files

    Everytime I open my videos folder my theme is immediately changed to Windows Vista Basic and about 3 to 5 seconds later Windows Explorer crashes. I heard that it is caused by corrupted mp4 files and I deleted some mp4 files, but the problem persists. The remaining file that I have in the folder is not in the trash and the mp4s are corrupt who have been moved to the Recycle Bin now cause my theme change when I go to the Recycle Bin and Windows Explorer crashes when I go as well. In 3-5 seconds that I before Windows Explorer crashes while I am in the trash, I say empty and keep the loading bar right on the course and go, as when I try to delete the file remains in the video folder. I asked friends who are skilled in computers and they have no idea what to do. Help please, no matter what is appreciated. Thank you.

    Rather than open the Recycle Bin, right-click on it and then click on the empty basket.  This could work given that when opened it does not work and in this way you are not open it.

    To remove the remaining MP4 file, try Unlocker: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml that sometimes will delete the files when the standard Vista delete process does not work.  Hope that the same problem occurs here what happens with Windows Explorer.

    I hope this helps.  Let us know how it goes - one way or the other.
