Overwritten temp folder / drive permissions

Hello,
I have this annoying issue with windows 8.1, my temp folder permission is changed periodically (like once a month or so) and I have to change it back manually, but I don't know what and why is doing this.
And right now this issue is grown, When I'm trying to copy or save a file to my secondary HDD a Windows allert pops up saying something like this: A required privilege is not held by the client (0X80070522)
Than I looked up the permissions and the Authenticated User was blanked out none of the checkboxes were checked
The funny thing is that Windows put the boot to that drive and haf of my softwares are also there and still something was able to change permissions (and or Ownership),
I would think Windows protects the MBR more.
So, I would like to know how can I resolve this and get my rights back to my HDD and find what is messing with my folder and drive permissions. Oh and is that right that the owner on that drive is TrustedInstaller because on my other drive Administrators
are the owner?
And please don't say to delete my user account because I use a lots of software which needs configuration (like IIS, MySQL, etc..) and right now I don't have a day or two to reconfigure everything.

Hi,
For this issue,please reset the security settings on your system from the following article.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222
Note:This article is for windows vista and let us test if it works Windows 8.1.
Just run in a evalated prompt the following command.
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
If the issue persists,please reset all permissions, run this command:
icacls * /reset /t /c /q

Hi,
I checked my test computer, Windows 8.1 Enterprise, found that recently updates are all Microsoft Endpoint Protection updates and they couldn't found at Installed updates. You can find them at View update history.
If you installed System Center Endpoint Protection, you can try to uninstall it temporarilly for test.
In addition, you can use the command below instead to fix your system for test.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
It downloads the corrupted files for you from the Internet.

Acrobat replaces NTFS permissions of Temp folder

OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Acrobat Pro v11.0.1
I have set location of my Temp folder to another drive F:.
This folder is pointed by both %TEMP% and %TMP% environment variables.
My user (ex. "SomeDomain\SomeUser") belongs to Adminstrators group and set as owner of this folder.
Acrobat is run under regular privileges of my account (UAC is default).
At random time intervals Acrobat would change the NTFS file permissions of the Temp folder and remove my user (i.e. "SomeDomain\SomeUser") from the permissions list.
Here is an audit event log entry (EventID 4670):
Permissions on an object were changed. Subject: Security ID: SomeDomain\SomeUser Account Name: SomeUser Account Domain: SomeDomain Logon ID: 0xbf91d Object: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: F:\Temp Handle ID: 0x424 Process: Process ID: 0x69c Process Name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe Permissions Change: Original Security Descriptor: D:PAI(A;OICI;0x1201ff;;;WD)(A;OICI;FA;;;S-1-5-21-1707761498-773545259-750896631-1000)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;FA;;;SY) New Security Descriptor: D:PARAI(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;BA)(A;;0x1201df;;;WD)(A;OICIIO;DTGWGR;;;WD)
This causes various runtime errors when installing application.

Solution is simple
1. Create one small partition in your hard disk (1 GB or less)
2. Format that new partition with FAT32
3. Put your personal temp folder in that partition
4. Enjoy

VS2013 Installation failed - The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or is inaccessible

When I trying to install Visual Studio 2013 Premium either from .ISO or web installer, installation fails on installing Microsoft
Visual C++ 2013 x86 Minimum Runtime - 12.0.21005 with error:

But there are enought free space on system drive (36GB) and current user (local admin) and administrator has full access to C:\Windows\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp folders. "Run as Administrator" has no effect.

Downloads going to The "Temp" Folder

Hi! I've had this problem for a while now and now i want to fix it. I see other people have this problem too. When i download a file and open it dircetl, its saves in the Temp folder on my C drive(witch is an SSD) I don't want it there and i have not asked them to go there, I want it on my 2nd harddrive, Witch is where i got it set up to go. Is there any way to get files you open directly to go to the folder that you set? or is this impossible?
Troubleshooting Information Included.

Firefox immediately starts downloading the file in the background and saves the file to the temp folder and doesn't wait until you specify the name and the location (destination folder).
If the file stays in the temp folder then it is possible that your security software is blocking the file and prevents Firefox from moving the file to the specified destination folder.
You would have to change the TMP and TEMP environment variables to point to a location (X:\\temp) on that other drive.

Safe to delete content from the Temp folder under AppData?

Hi everyone,
Is it safe to delete the contents from the Temp folder (C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp) in the SharePoint 2013 web front end servers?
For some reason I see around 30 GB of temp files. Came across
this blog post but in my case ULS logs are still being generated in the D drive. Not sure how those Temp files are being created. Application servers seem to be fine.
Tried -
changing the ULS log path from D to C and back to D drive (as per the above blog post... no luck)
tried restarting the SP tracing service
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Office Interop 32 bit on 64 bit OS email attachments filling up outlook temp folder OLK

I have an issue when sending emails (many) using Office.Interop 32 bit that when the application is installed on a 64 bit OS the outlook secure temp is filling up and throwing an exception, this does not occur when the application is installed on a 32 bit
OS.
.NET framework 4.0
Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook 14.0.0.0 Runtime v2.0.50727
for (int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlookApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem oMailItem = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
oMailItem.Recipients.Add("[email protected]").Type = 1;
oMailItem.Subject = "test email";
oMailItem.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
oMailItem.Save();
oMailItem.Attachments.Add(@"C:\test_doc_1.docx", (int)Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
oMailItem.Attachments.Add(@"C:\test_doc_2.docx", (int)Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
oMailItem.Send();
Win7 32bit with Outlook 2010 32bit -> Works on this setup
Win7 64bit with Outlook 2010 32bit -> Does not work on this set up
Problem:
Sending many emails with the same attachment fills the outlook secure temp folder
C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\ZT7WMFGK\
(with a temp copy of the attachment) these files are not removed on Win7 64bit so at about 200 emails the exception is thrown:
"Cannot create file [file name]. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
On Win7 32bit i can see the files getting automatically deleted from the secure temp folder so there is no problem
Im not sure where to start with this.

Seems that you have to release the objects explicitly. According to articles (http://www.bing.com/search?q=c%23%20release%20com%20objects), try this:
Application outlookApplication =
new
Application();
_MailItem oMailItem = (_MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(
OlItemType.olMailItem );
var recipients = oMailItem.Recipients;
var recipient = recipients.Add(
recipient.Type =
1;
oMailItem.Subject =
"test email";
oMailItem.BodyFormat =
OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
oMailItem.Save();
var attachments = oMailItem.Attachments;
var attachment1 = attachments.Add(
@". . . .", (int)OlAttachmentType.olByValue,
Type.Missing,
Type.Missing );
var attachment2 = attachments.Add(
@". . . .", (int)OlAttachmentType.olByValue,
Type.Missing,
Type.Missing );
oMailItem.Send();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachment2
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachment1
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachments
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( recipient );
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( recipients
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( oMailItem );
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( outlookApplication
Check (with Debugger) that the files are removed at the end of this fragment.
Also consider creating a single outlookApplication before the loop.

Is there a way to recover an overwritten image folder in a site root?

I mistakenly did a 'get' of the 'images' folder in my remote site and it overwrote my local site file, which contained many new photoshopped jpgs that I had spent hours creating and had recently placed there for the site work.
I am working in CS5 on a Windows 7 desktop PC.
The overwritten images folder I want to recover was stored on my 'z' drive (public drive), which I use for all my work so that I can also access it via my laptop (networked) if working in another area of the house.
Is there any magic recovery for this overwritten file folder or should I just start the many hours of work over again?
To add to the stress, the site must go live in a few days to please my customer.
URGENT & FRANTIC,
Sally

Hello Sally,
in this case and under the condition that you have already unsuccessful scanned/searched all positions of your hard drive with a file-manager, there is still that possibility which you should do as quickly as possible, without any other file operations. I didn't see your thread earlier, hope it's not too late, yet!
If you're lucky, some of your file are still intact on your hard disk and you get your file back with an "unerase tool", like Norton-Utilities. You could try Google search too. A (German) tool finds here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/O-amp-O-UnErase_13014611.html.
Before a file is deleted completely, the operating system removes only the first letter of the file's name. PHYSICALLY the file is still situated on your hard disk(s). The unerase tools can detect it and it draws up a list which will give you a detailed record of these files which can be recovered. Here a screenshot of my German "Unerase Tool":
"Wiederherstellen" means something like "recover".
Good luck!

PDF XChange annotations are not saving (temp folder problem?)

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the XChange PDF viewer within Firefox:
When annotating a file outside of Firefox, I can save the changes and have them reappear
when I close and re-open the file
Doing this inside Firefox, I cannot, it appears that the files are saved, but they do no
reappear on re-opening. This is true even when annotating a file that is opened from my
hard drive (as opposed to opening it from a website)
Doing this inside IE, it works properly. However, I need to use Firefox here at work
instead of IE or XChange separately.
I believe the problem lies in the fact that when XChange/FF open a pdf inside FF, a file
is created in C:\Temp and the changes are somehow being lost here. Interestingly, if I
take the file opened within FF and open it in XChange outside the browser (by using the
button in the bottom left of the viewer pane) I _still_ cannot save my changes, and I now
get an error message along the lines of:
‘Error saving document to “c:\Temp\pdf38.tmp”:
Error [IO subsystem]: Invalid access mode’
where 'pdf38.tmp' is the name of the temp folder created when the original file was
opened within FF.
I didn’t have these problems a few months ago, so it’s something to do with the new
versions of XChange and FF. Please let me know what you can do to fix this. I really
like using XChange, but if this can’t be fixed I’ll have to switch to something else to
do my work.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Reinstalling latest versions of FF and PDF X-Change

I wrote a ton of notes and I freaked out when it didn't work so I emailed the pdf to myself, and its the current version with all the notes that I had just taken.
try it out! it worked for me

Duplicates in temp folder

I've recently upgraded to PS Elements V7. I've noticed that when I modify the date/time of a picture, it is leaving a duplicate copy of the picture in my temp folder (path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\temp). The only difference between this picture file and the original in my "my pictures" folder, is the date of the file/picture.
There is also an empty "Adobe" and empty "editor" sub-folder in this temp folder.
I've noticed that this duplicate file appears only when I modify the date/time of a picture, not if I do a full edit of the picture and save it (then it just overwrites the original picture in the "my pictures" folder.
I've tried closing PS Elements and rebooting the computer, but the files in the temp folder are still there. I deleted all of these pictures and through Elements modified a picture, checked that it had duplicated in temp (it had), closed element, rebooted...still there.
As I've never noticed this before (I usually clear out the temp folder about 1x a week and have been an elements user for years), I'm wondering what is causing it? If it is normal? Is there a way to disable it?
As this temp folder is somewhat hidden (most/many computer users probably don't know how to access it), the fact that it is retaining full duplicate copies of modified pictures that must be manually deleted means that many users hard drives may be filling up unnecessarily with these files.
I've checked in elements and noted that it points to the original picture in the "my pictures" folder and not to the temp folder duplicate. Deleting the temp folder pictures does not seem to affect elements. I've also tried the folder view option in elements to see if it was "recognizing" these duplicates in temp, but the temp folder does not even come up as accessible.
Thanks for any help, insight...Mike Villella

John, thanks for the reply. I wonder if anyone else is missing a lot of disk space due to files in a temp folder that don't know about. I would think that closing the program and/or rebooting would flush this folder, but apparently not.
I use Norton Protected Recycle bin. Never noticed a similar problem before. I just did an "unerase" function with the recycle bin and there were a lot of old files that are associated with elements, just not any actual pix.
I do keep finished photos on a NAS drive, but the photos in question are on the hard drive (C drive).
I did the process again paying more attention. Started by deleting everything in the temp folder and rebooting.
The file had a date taken of 12/5/99 a created date of 1/3/09 and a modified date of 1/24/09 and was in "My pictures". Upon adjusting the time/date to 12/15/99, a new file popped up in the temp folder, same name, size, rez, etc. The temp file has a date taken of 12/5/99, a created date of 1/25/09 and a modified date of 1/24/09, same as the old file except the new created date of today.
The picture in "my pictures" is also same size, name and rez. The date taken has the new date of 12/15/99, and a modified and created date of 1/25/09 (today).
So apparently, upon adjusting the time/date, the original file is being duplicated and created in temp, while the original file is being updated with the new date entered and today's date as created and modified.
The duplicated file in temp is basically orphaned. Elements does not appear to link to it or see it. When I delete it manually, it does not affect Elements.
So, I guess I can understand why a temp file is created during the process (but, by the same token, not sure why the same thing doesn't happen during a full edit), but I'm not sure why it is left in temp and not automatically deleted at some point. Does that make sense or am I missing something?
Also, I notice a amt, alm, libFNP_events, and swtag file being created in this temp folder (C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temp). They don't seem to ever auto delete either.

BPC Detail error/reject log not created in the PrivatePub/user/temp folder

Hi,
We have a custom import package that imports data from a comma seperated txt file in to BPC. If all the data members in the data file are valid dimension members the package is successful and the package log file is created in the PrivatePub/user/Temp folder. But if there are any rejects the reject log is not getting created under the temp folder and moreover the package status is "Error". The package log is created but the reject log is not. The Webfolders has the full share permissions.
The same package runs fine in our Test environment and creates the package log and reject log.
We are on BPC 5.1 SP3.
Is there a configuration that is missing.
Thanks in advance.
Swaroop

I'm pretty sure that when you do not explicitly indicate a transformation file, a default file (import.xls I think?) is used.
Also, there are a number of temp files & variables that must be created in the MODIFYSCRIPT variable, and certain conversion tasks that are part of the standard import process. You can see the proper syntax in the sample import pacakges.
If you've created a new package of your own, you may be missing some key pieces. If you don't understand what all the pieces are in the sample packages (and why you don't need them), you should start by debugging with one of them, and then see what you need to add back into your package.
I'd normally recommend to start with the sample import package, and only modify it if necessary, and as little as possible.
Last thought - file permission... does the user running the package (not the end user logged into BPC, but the BPC data manager user, which I believe is the "USER" (not admin or sysadmin) set up during the server install) have appropriate access rights to that network share where the data file is located? Try changing it to a local path, and copy the test.txt to that location.

I don't quite understand the whole deal with AA3's "Temp" folder

So, when exactly can I or should I delete the contents of Auditions temp folder? Mine is currently at a bit over 400MB but on an 90GB partition.
But, I'm wondering when it is appropriate to clear some of all of the temp files out of there.
I just don't understand what they're there for, because as I understood it they are created when you make an edit on a file so that you can undo that edit, if this is true, here are my questions:
1. Are temp files only important when working on a session?
Because I mean, if I make an edit in edit view, it creates a temp file...but once I have finalized that edit and saved re-saved the waveform making it permanent, then what is the point of the temp file? How do I find out which temp files are associated with destructive edits that have been saved and thus making the temp file unnecassary?
2. Are temp files created when an effect is applied in Multi-Track view? if they are then:
IF I delete the wrong temp files does that mean that the efx I applied on certain tracks will no longer be there? Will efx dissapear from tracks on which I have applied them if I delete temp files?
Obviously I don't understand, but why do I need 400+ MB of temp files after my projects have been saved and closed? What is the purpose of all those temp files being there if all my projects are up to speed as far as saving is concerned?
any insight would be highly appreciated, thanks.
Kris

hmmm, thanks for the response but are you sure?
Because it says specifically to use your biggest partition for the temp files folder...if they are all supposedly erased upon the closing of Audition (which mine are definetly not) then why do they suggest to that you use your biggest partition for the temp folder?
Here is more from the manual:
When you edit a file, Adobe Audition copies the audio data into a temporary file for internal use. This process allows for quicker editing, better handling of large files, and the ability to undo changes.
When specifying folders for temporary files, you should use hard disks with plenty of free space. (To specify these folders, see System preferences.) If free disk space reaches 45 MB, the Manage Temporary Folder Reserve Space dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to delete temporary files and clear undo items.
Use the status bar to monitor the amount of free disk space. (See Display the status bar.)
well if you got to the help files you can see the image too, and it picture where it's giving you the option to delete what appear to be older temp files?
It seems unlikely that if Audition is deleting temp files upon closing and your temp folder is on your largest drive, that a situation would arise wherebye the temp files eat up so much space in one session that your HD is down to 45MB??
maybe I'm missing something, can someone confirm what ryclark said? Is it true that I can manually delete all my temp files and there will be no implications for my sessions which have already been closed?
thanks again.

RMAN temporary files in TEMP folder (e.g. rmanEPPDBT3.1179270528)

Hi,
When making a (cold) backup with RMAN, it creates a folder D:\TEMP and creates here files like rmanEPPDBT3.1178237439.
- Does anybody know where these files are used for?
- Can they be deleted?
- Is there an option the relocate the D:\TEMP folder to the C: drive?
Content of the file rmanEPPDBT3.1179270528 is:

Temp Folder Bulging

The "temp" folder is the 800 pound gorilla of Captivate that
keeps growing every time I create a new project. I've used
Captivate extensively since I had it installed last spring, and the
temp folder, located within "Local Settings" within the "Documents
and Settings" heirarchy of my Windows 2000 computer, now totals 8
gigabytes in size!
I take care to store my Captivate projects in project folders
and keep all my resources pertinent to the project within each
folder, and this "temp" folder thing is vexing as it is consuming
more and more hard drive space.
But I'm afraid to dump all this temp stuff because I'm unsure
of the consequences if I do.
Can anyone give me some sound advice?
Thanks,

Hi Glen
I've always considered the Temp folder to be just that. As a
result, I've regularly scrubbed it squeaky clean and haven't
noticed any ill consequences as a result.
Cheers... Rick

Write/Read Permissions in temp folder - Help!

Hello, I was playing with settings when I accidentally changed my write permissions in a temp folder and changed all of my user permissions. None of my programs work anymore except for my default programs. Can someone help me figure out how to undo this stupid mistake?
Stupid and Disgruntled

I can't initiate any downloads for registry fixes. Just another thing I'm having trouble with. I guess it's not surprising since my temporary folder seems to be the root of all these problems.
The list of broken things;
directory modifications
adobe suite
microsoft office suite
web browsers (except for internet explorer)
- limited functioning (downloads won't initiate)
itunes
windows live mail
EDIT: system restore
- The system fails to load the restore point
There's probably more I haven't tried yet

Overwritten temp folder / drive permissions
