When a Windows installer (.msi) creates a file (e.g. by <Component> of WiXtools), will the file be readable by non-admin users? I want a file not readable by non-admin users, for security reasons. How can I make WiXtools to create a non-readable (by non-admins) file?

When I overwrite a file (e.g. with a file copy command from Puppet, SaltStack, or Chef) that was set specific permissions, may the set permissions be lost or no? I ask because I want to store a password in a file accessible only to SYSTEM user and Admin users, and am afraid that when I...

Good morning! I like playing PC video games, and mostly do so through Steam. Always after downloading a game when I launch it for the first time a pop up appears that reads: "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?". I had always clicked no and the games seemed to run fine...

I've got home/office network of 7 computers (all on Win 10). Each computer has files in the public documents that needs to be accessed, with full control, by the other computers. Most all the computers communicate fine with one another, but I've got one computer (TOM) that can only read the...

Hello, My problem is that I cannot open or even copy some files in the hard drive of my former laptop because of permission and owner issues. To give you more context, I had a computer operating windows 7. The hard drive had a partition specific for saving data. My Pictures was set in this...

After upgrading to Win 10, I've found I can't install anything, play any games, save anything, or use any program that creates, modifies, or deletes other files (even as part of the same folder). Unless I right click, and run as admin. I'm beyond frustrated and Linux sounds extremely tempting...
