Help! "access denied" to folders in windows 8.1

I never had this problem with XP & it is totally infuriating; why can I access some folders but for instance cannot move a photo from one folder to another & get "access denied" messages. I am no techie but have read advice, looked
at folder properties, security & set them to full control. It made no difference. This is a home pc & I am the only user - my wife uses it occasionally but I have nothing to hide! It seems an absurd idea to have a system that as "pre-set"
deprives the owner of reasonable usage.
Desperate!

Hello flowbench,
Have you made any change before this issue?
Do you mean when you try to move a photo from one folder to another, and then get the ‘access denied’ error message?
Please double check if you have full control in the source and destination folder.
Please share us the screenshot of the Security options of the two folder if you still have this issue.
Best regards,

Just used migration and I'm getting access denied to folders. I'm in snow leopard 10.6.4

I just used migration and I'm getting access denied to folders. I'm in snow leopard 10.6.4.

Your best bet may be to start over, and use Setup Assistant instead. See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups?, and note the green "Second chance" box.

Windows 7 Open and Save As dialog box gives an "Access Denied" when using common Windows Explorer features.

On many computers in our environment we have issues in Windows 7 when using the Common Dialog Box. Within the dialog box we get the error Access Denied whenever we try to create a folder. If we try to rename a file it doesn't give an error but
it doesn't work either. We cannot delete a file, still no error, but we can create shortcut.
Within Windows Explorer of the same user it has no issues.
Even if we run an application as administrator it has the same results.
Example: Open Paint (right click "Run As Administrator"); then File, "Save As", right-click in empty space; then New, Folder. This caused the error to popup "Unable to create the folder 'New folder' Access is denied."
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
How are things going? As the article provided above said, for such kind of issues generally it is caused by permission settings.

A trouble free way of giving Administrators access to redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard?

A few months ago I set up some redirected folders on a clients Windows Small Busines Server 2008. I recall that setting up the redirected folders was straightforward, but when I edited the permissions to allow administrative access to these server located
folders, all hell broke lose. The permissions change seemed to trash the folders. I think I managed to 'bodge' it for a couple of users and got it working, but it was such a headache I didn't bother doing it for the other users.
Now, I sit in front of a brand-spanking-new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard box which is going to be installed with a new client within 48 hours. I would like to set up redirected folders and would like to grant admin rights on these folders so I can view
their contents directly from the server.
It seems to me that there is no offical Microsoft documentation which relates specifically to doing this on Windows Server 2008. Given the amount of problems this has caused for many admins, I am astounded.
Somewhere there are articles which describe how to do it on 2003, but this procedure does not work well in 2008.
There is an SBS article that admits permissions can be trashed, but this is no help on Standard edition:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/10/08/folder-redirection-in-small-business-server-2008.aspx
I have just posted a note on this rather long article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/smallbusinessserver/thread/70fa7f0e-7f2c-4f00-8401-42d262d80cd6
So, my question, hopefully to Microsoft employee, please can you document
exactly how to grant admin rights to users redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, and please could you do it today :-)
In the absence of this help, then I'm afraid this is yet another great but badly implemented feature that we will not be using.

So, Micro$haft, Why did you give instructions to Server 2003?

Hi,
The configuration looks fine. What do you see in radius server as the reason for authentication failure?

Help: Access denied

I have created a "FtpClient Applet", which uses Jakarta FtpClient. When I load the applet the first time everything works fine. But if/when I get a timeout, have to change user, or for some other reason, have to reconnect to the ftp server I'll get the following Exception:
LoginToFtpServer() exc: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission XXX.com resolve).
I don�t understand why I can access the server the first time but not the second time. If I press F5 (reload IE). I have of course signed my Jar files.
Can some one help me?

maybe you should try to explicitly ask the server to disconnect if he's connected, before attempting any new connection

How can I grant users to access/modify system folders (C:/Windows/Fonts) by using GPO in Win7 ?

In our company there are some folks that require often new fonts that they take from the internet. Unfortunately, some of them have offices on in a diferrent country, so going there to insert my admin paswoord is not a solution.
If you copy the ttf file into the C:/Windows/Font folder is enough, you don't have to also add the registry.
One way to bypass the window that asks for admin credentials is to insert my crdentials into the bat file (runas). But this is very unsecure, as I am an administrator.
Is there a way to create a shared folder that can also store fonts that can be used by windows? Can I give them the right to modify files in this folder without making them administrators? Or do you see any solution to this issue? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Another solution which will not compromise your security is to create a share folder and have the users to download fonts to the folder. After that a simple schedule task GPO on clients to copy the
*.ttf files from the folder to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Since tha task can be run by administrative privileges I guess there will be no problem.

How do i copy a single folder in the bookmarks to another computer. the master backup does not have access to individual folders. in windows you can just copy a specific bookmark folder without overwriting the whole thing

eg:
bookmarks
fav1
fav2
fav3
just want to copy fav2 to another computer

Unfortunately you can not do that it has been asked like forever and always gets pushed aside. You will have to export your bookmarks and strip out what you do not want being careful to maintain the integrity of the exported bookmarks backup file. Then import the bookmarks. into Firefox. The imported bookmarks will get added to a folder at the end of your "Bookmarks Menu" bookmarks folder. Move them to where you want them and then delete the folder you added to the "Bookmarks Menu". If you automatically sort your bookmarks (automatic sorting is a bad idea), be sure to turn it off beforehand.

Internet Explorer 11 silent uninstall - Access Denied

Hey,
We are trying to uninstall IE11 on some devices via SCCM.
Unfortunately our command line:
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart"
Returns "Access Denied" with a popup window...even running as system account with PSexec.exe
Of course our users cannot see the popup window during deployment by SCCM and installation runs into timeout.
If I run the command line manually via and select 'OK' at the popups the uninstallation goes on and works after restart.
How is the recommended way by Microsoft of uninstalling IE11?
Thank you.
Kind Regards

Hi Torsten,
thank you for your help.
The access denied happens always for the two red marked files.
If there is an language pack installed there is an additional access denied.
Something more I found is that after internet explorer 11 update and restart the desktop background of each user is black.
If I restart again it is gone and user sees his desktop background again.
(Of course no real 'issue' but users are frustrated and are not very please of IE11 at the beginning)
Kind Regards

File access denied

I'm not really a computer savy so can someone help me please! I tried to install a dvd photoshop cs4 extended and all I got was a pop up auto play window that said " file access denied". I have windows 7 and reading some posts I tried to right click on the .exe to run it as an administrative mode but nothing happens when I right click it. Can someone help ?

You say "nothing happens" when you click on the .exe file, do you not get a context menu popping up?
You could try copying the installation package from the DVD to the desktop and trying from there.
[Without wishing to be alarmist, there have been lots of cases of brand new, shrink wrapped copies of Photoshop sold on eBay which turned out to be fakes. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/1636890#1636890]

Shared folders (Windows file shares) show access denied and do not prompt for credentials

Scenario:
Like other admins, I log on and work as a 'standard user' (usera) with no admin rights anywhere in the domain, to perform admin tasks I have another account (userb) which I authenticate with as and when required. userb has been allocated/delegated permissions
as required.
Problem:
When trying to connect to shared folders on servers (2008 R2) using a UNC patch via Windows Explorer (Win 7 Ent.), I see an access denied error and do not get an option to supply alternative credentials.
If I try to connect to the admin shares on the same server (\\server\C$ or \\server\e$) I get an access denied message AND get prompted for credentials. I supply my admin account and gain access as expected.
If I check share and storage management when attempting to connect, I see that Windows is trying to connect me to each share as usera (which has no access). I understand why I get access denied at this point, but not why it can't just prompt me to supply an
account that does have access. When trying the admin shares I also see the usera account, but I get a prompt to supply a user who does have access.
Share permissions on the folders are for example 'Everyone' Full Control. NTFS permissions are 'userb' has modify (read, execute, list, traverse etc) via a 'Server Admins' AD Universal security group.
Note: If I do a NET USE from CMD and use the /USER switch, I can access the shares fine. But this is not great for accessing shared folders on the fly from various computers.
How can I get the other shares on the server to prompt me, rather than just say access denied?
Many thanks.

Folders and Files access denied from Server 2008 on Windows 7

I upgraded my server from 2003 to 2008. Now my Windows 7 machines can't open files in the Shared Documents on the server. Error comes back with access denied. Can use remote desktop with a Windows 7 machine and have access to the Shared Documents
folder. Any help as to why getting access denied would be great.

Hi,
Plesase check ntfs permisions and share permssions of the shared folder. You could try to set share permissions to Full Control for the Everyone group to see if the issue still exists.

Offline Files sync gives Access Denied on Windows 8.1 Enterprise

A small number of our staff have now been issued with Windows 8.1 Enterprise hybrid tablet computers, however there is a problem with using Offline Files on them - when synchronising, it responds "Access Denied".
The tablets have Windows 8.1 Enterprise with all the latest updates on them. Staff users have a home folder on the network under \\server\staff\homes\departmentname\username which gets mapped to U: and their My Documents is redirected there. The server is currently
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
We have tried:
Resetting the Offline Files cache using the FormatDatabase registry key
Using Group Policy Objects to force Offline Files synchronisation at logon and logoff
Clearing the local cached copy of the user's profile from the machine and getting them to log back on to recreate it
Setting up Offline Files event logging to the event viewer - this provides no useful information as it only logs disconnect/reconnect and logoff/logon events
Forcing Group Policy update using gpupdate /force
Forcing synchronisation using PowerShell and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb309189%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
As suggested by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275461 we gave the All Staff security group Read permissions on F:\Staff (which is the one that is shared as \\server\staff) and then blocked inheritance for folders below that
We also checked the following:
The CSC cache has not been relocated
No error 7023 or event 7023 errors relating to Offline Files are present in the event logs
The Offline Files service is running
The OS is already Windows 8.1 Enterprise, so installing the Pro Pack is not applicable
In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserState\UserStateTechnologies\ConfigurationControls all the values are set to 0 and not 1
We do not use System Center Configuration Manager
No errors were found in the Folder Redirection event logs
None of these solved the problem, does anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the error we are seeing:

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem is most probably occurs at File Server Client.
Firstly, please check the sharing file Sync Settings.
Shared file properties\Sharing\Advanced Sharing\Caching
Also check shared file user list, make sure these problematic user account have full permission.
On the other hand, could you able to access to the shared file directly in Windows Explorer?
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]
Yes, the user can access the shared folder in Windows Explorer. The user has the following permissions:
Traverse Folder/Execute File
List Folder/Read Data
Read Attributes
Read Extended Attributes
Create Files/Write Data
Create Folders/Append Data
Write Attributes
Write Extended Attributes
Delete
Read Permissions
Here is a screenshot of how the Caching settings are set up on the top-level Staff share.

Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\

I have searched on Google and all over this forum and none of the solutions have fixed my problem.
Crystal Version: Crsytal.Net for Visual Studio.Net 2005
Server: Windows Server 2003
Error:
Access denied. Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\JuryDutyReport {D6296178-3E72-483E-B876-2DFC03D00841}.rpt: Access to report file denied. Another program may be using it.
When I run my app locally through the Web Server that comes with ASP.Net, everything is fine, it is only when I deploy the application to the Windows 2003 Server that I get the error.
I'm using impersonation in my ASP.Net application. I have given that domain user full access to 'C:\Windows\Temp'', the export folder and even the folder where the Crystal Report resides on the Server. When I run the application on the Web Server, I actually see the ".rpt" get created in the "C:\Windows\Temp" folder but yet it still says there is a permissions error.
What is bizarre is that the code below that just sends the file to the printer automatically works:
private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
        //create report document
        ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
        //load, set datasource and print options
        crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
        crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
        crDoc.PrintOptions.PrinterName = ddlPrinters.SelectedValue.ToString(); //set printername
        crDoc.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait; //set paper orientation
        crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
        crDoc.PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0); //send to printer
I have to change the code to export to a PDF and this code doesn't work:
    private void PrintJuryDutyReport(DataSet ds)
        //report document
        ReportDocument crDoc = new ReportDocument();
        string myfile = @"G:\COPFS\COPFSPROD\ReportsTemp\MyPDF.pdf";
        //load, set datasource and print options
        crDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/Reports/JuryDutyReport.rpt"));
        crDoc.SetDataSource(ds); //set datasource
        crDoc.SetParameterValue("ParamUsername", User.Identity.Name); //set parameter
        //export through http
        crDoc.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, myfile);
        crDoc.Close();
        crDoc.Dispose();
        Response.ClearContent();
        Response.ClearHeaders();
        Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf";
        Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + myfile);
        Response.WriteFile(myfile);
        Response.Flush();
        Response.Close();
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have to present this to end users tomorrow.

Don, thanks for the response.
As a last ditch effort, I granted "modify" to the Network Service Account on C:\Windows\Temp and that fixed the error.
There are two things that are troubling about this:
1) I'm impersonating a domain user in my ASP.Net application and when the PDF is created, the owner is that domain user, so I know impersonation is working. So I wonder if ASP.Net picks and chooses what account it runs under at different times?
2) It is a little scary for the Network Service Account to have this access but that people seem to be fine with it.
