hi,
video folder and videos inside d drive were not opening because of permissions.
if pc owner did not give control of his pc to anyone, where did permissions on the video folder come from. I used the internet to change permissions for this folder. permissions changed successfully . but opening video files inside the folder give various kinds of errors .
Also, files are not saving to the d drive.
how to fix this problem, please reply.
thanks.
 
Unless you backed up the ACLs there is no rollback on ACLs for any given folder save for re-installing Windows.

If you're referring to the C:\Users\<username>\Videos then just turn on inheritance and the permissions will be what they should be
 
@Neemobeer reintalling windows on c drive fixes the problem on c drive and usb drives but not on d drive. i cant even sa ve files to d drives.
 
Then it's very likely that drive is having physical problems, or the file system may be corrupt. I'd suggest running chkdisk on it with the following command

chkdsk D: /F
 
i ran chkdsk D: /F
below is result

but renaming a folder still wants an administrative password. But previously it didn't want the administrative passwords
plz help..
 
when trying to save a file on d drive gives this error message
saving prob.png

renaming a folder on this drive gives the following unexpected message, which has never received before.
rename prob.png

and deleting a folder on d drive gives the following message
delete prob.png

some nice guy on a forum gave/sent me some commands to execute them in elevated command prompt, which i executed successively but the problem remains
