file permissions

Hello I did try searching for help with this, but I couldnt find it. The problem that I am having is: I have installed Windows 7 onto a harddrive and then added the other drives from an older XP installation, I used "Takeownership" on all the drives just after they were added and all was well...

I am trying to replace one file with another and it tells me that I need permission from admin which is me, I am using the admin account, and I have also turned off user account manager and it still tells me I need the right permission. I never had this issue on vista or xp (vista did do the...

I am hoping there is some small chance here. In anticipation for installing Windows 7 on my main drive I installed my new 1TB SATA drive as secondary under XP, formatted it and moved files to it. I had no problems accessing anything so I didn't think there would be any problem when I tried the...

Hi! I'm having trouble sharing my files between two Windows 7 computers, one 32-bit and one 64-bit but both build 7100. I've got the comps connected in a LAN with a Linksys WRT54G ver. 6 router (updated firmware). The two comps are in the same Homegroup, with the network discovery, file...

Hi, I just had a quick question. ok, so when I try to download a file from internet to my computer, I get this message: C:\Users\Craft\App Data\Local\Temp and it also says that it could not be saved because you (me) cannot change the contents. (I am the admin on my computer, so why can't...

First- Thank you in advance for any input you have, and sorry if this seems like a re-post, but I can't seem to find anyone who is having quite the same problem or a solution that seems to work. Basically it is denying me access to brand new files. EX I shot some texture photos today, applied...

I upgraded to the windows RC build 7100 recently. I have been using it successfully. I have installed all my applications and programs successfuly. I have installed all of my hardware peripherals with no problem what so ever. The problem I am having is with media players. When I installed...

After using the 'Rebuilding Media Library' option, going into my AppData -> Local -> Windows -> Media Player folder and clearing it out and ensuring that my folder permissions are correct I still can't get Win7 media player to add the files in my folders. I can add the files manually but WMP...

This isn't a huge issue, but it certainly is an annoying one. I set up a data partition which contains all of my music and common files. I clean installed the 32-bit version of RC 7100 on a separate partition, and the 64-bit version of RC7100 on yet another partition. Vista 64 remains on its own...

I find it ironic that I've encountered a problem that I've never seen before in any WIndows OS, but have encountered in almost every single Unix-based operating system I've ever used. It's a phenominally stupid problem, too. I can't change the status of some files/folders away from Read Only...

i just wanted to know if there is a way to move a file that win says you don't have permission, or privileges to move? i certainly gave myself admin privileges when i setup my user account, and turned off all user account funcx's, but still have win 7 telling me that i can't move a file, or that...

Hello world! I have been using XP and Windows 7 for a while now, and have been keeping my media all on my XP partition. Windows 7 added it's permission settings to the "My Documents" folder of my XP installation just fine, and was working without a hitch. Yesterday, I tried to share the XP "My...

I have added Win7 in a separate partition to my Vista system. Win7 is thus on a separate drive in a shared file system. Dual boot gives me the option to choose OS. Everything is running fine. However, when I open files in W7 from the drive with Vista it turns out security setting give me only...

Hello. In the first few weeks of running Windows 7 (Build 7000), all went well. then, suddenly, a certain program failed to access my D drive (That's where I keep all of my documents and media files). then I noticed a bunch of programs (such as uTorrent, FlashGet, etc.) simply cannot download...

Hi, new to the forums with a issue regarding my files back in XP. I'm dual booting the public beta Build 7000 (32 bit) with XP Media Center Edition (SP3, 32 bit). Each OS resides on a separate physical drive. AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe 4 GB RAM GeForce 7900GS AVG Free My...

For some reason, anytime I drop a file on the desktop with a .exe extension, I can no longer delete that file from the desktop. Actually...I can delete it, but as soon as I hit F5 or e.g. log off and back on, the file simply reappears. I can only delete a .exe file permanently in Safe Mode. I do...
