Windows 7 Permissions

I have a file on my Windows 7 desktop (a game file that I transfered off a flash drive) that I cannot delete. I am signed into the only account (named 'Ryan') that I have set up on this OS. The file shows full permissions given to Ryan. When I drag to the recycle bin I get a window stating that I need permission from Ryan to delete the file. This doesn't make sense. When asked if I want to proceed - it says it can't.

And you are aware how large a problem USB flash drives carrying malware has gotten?
Windows 7 is beta, it does have a lot more changes to file ownership, inherited rights, too. And a very weak - by design - UAC making an easy front door (don't even need to use the backdoor) for trojans.
And while there are some beta versions and some good and not so good security and AV programs they may not be fully W7 compatible.
Great looking forum. The other is

  • "you don't have permission to open this file" when trying to attach in firefox ONLY. Works in other browsers and windows permissions are wide open.

    Only a problem in Firefox. Works in IE and Chrome. I went thru support ideas of checking windows permissions (wide open and the user is the owner), starting firefox in safe mode and uninstalled/reinstalled firefox. Same problem. Any file in My Documents gives the same error, so it is not file related. Any directory under My Documents works the same. I can move files to Desktop and then they attach fine.

    As mentioned in the original post, the user IS the owner and the permissions are WIDE open for the user. I have also tried to disable the anti-virus - no luck. The problem is ONLY happening in Firefox. Chrome and IE work perfect. There is also no problem in Windows. The user can add/remove/edit files in the directory. Right now the solution seems to be to use Chrome. I'm not excited about that, but at this point, the only option.

  • Sun Directory Server Windows permissions?

    Hi All,
    I am installing Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2 sp4 on Win2k3 Sp1 and was wondering what permissions it requires to run? I would like to run it as a Windows domain account that only has the permissions the service requires to run on the local machine. It would be ideal to have something that could be applied to both the "Admin Directory server" service as well other instances I might create. Specificially I would be looking for:
    # NTFS permissions
    # Registry permissions
    # Service Dependencies
    Any hints or shoves down the right path would be greatly appreciated! Our security policies are really painful.
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Thank You Marco for the response.
    Yes, I understand that it is not available, however i am expecting if someone has it on their workstation, and could send it via bigfiles etc. If I dont get any response, surely i will try to reach out to support team.

  • Windows permissions file access

    Hiya,
    I'm using cfdirectory to list files and subfolders.
    Is there a way I can display files for people in a certain group?
    People who aren't in the groups cannot see the folders or files.
    I've created a group in activedirectory, given it modify/ read&execute/ read access.
    However all users can see the files and folders, when they try and download a file they get the windows password prompt.
    I'd like them not to see the files and folders at all.
    Can anyone help?
    Thankyou

    I certainly don't think it would be simple, as cfdirectory works in the context of whatever user ColdFusion runs as and has no concept of NTFS permissions as such.
    You could possibly do something with createObject("dotnet") and use the actual Windows objects to examine the ACLs on the file then do something with that? Essentially bypass cfdirectory and use the System.IO.Directory classes from .NET to examine the directories and permissions, then use those to list the files they can access?
    Or I may be rambling.

  • Set windows permissions for folder

    My labview app is being installed to the prog files dir for the app by an installer created by the LV Dev System.  i encounter a problem when trying to store a config file for the app to the directory during user customization of settings after app installation because the file I am trying to update is read only due to win 7 defaults.  I try to set the permissions for the folder programmatically, but it does not change the folder to a NOT read only one.  What is the trick here?  Do I need to put my config files in another directory somewhere or is ther a way to change the folder settings so I can create temp files in that folder?

    Creating temporary config files in Program Files is not very good practice. I would do it in the public user folder.
    How are you setting the parameters?

  • Cannot load on 64-bit, Windows 7 (permissions)

    Configuration:
    Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
    Installed Adobe CS6 Beta Extended on different drive (not C:) drive.  In my case, I used the W: drive (an NTFS drive).
    When opening either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Photoshop, I get the following error UNLESS I "Run as Administrator" from the context menu:
    "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.  Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file."
    When I run as administrator, I can use Photoshop.  HOWEVER, I do not get all the filters in the Filter menu (some show up in the Filter Gallery, some not at all).
    I believe the filter issue existed in PS5 as well.
    If there's anything I'm not reading or seeing, please point it out -- I'd like to not worry about missing filters AND use the 64-bit version (unless anybody knows a reason why I shouldn't bother with the 64-bit mode).  Using the 32-bit is acceptable, but still have some filters missing in the Filter menu, probably becuase I have to run it as administrator.
    Thanks in advance!
    Additional Information:
    1) My account is an administrator account.
    2) I've tried holding Ctrl+Shift+Alt after launching and deleting the settings.

    @Noel -- Changing Users to FULL did fix the issue for me, thanks.  Not sure why, though, since I'm always logged in as Admin.
    Actually, no, you're not.
    Microsoft's UAC feature "demotes" you to non-privileged user status during normal operations.  You only are a member of the Administrators group when you escalate privileges (e.g., if you use "Run as Administrator" to start the application).
    Permissions are complex enough as it is, but since the advent of UAC in Vista I am surprised anyone who hasn't had a lifetime of computer systems training can get Windows permissions to work for them.
    A slightly more restrictive "fix" would be to add your specific username and grant it Full Control permissions, though the settings you applied will work for all users who log into to your system.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • File permissions $OH Unix and Windows

    Hi,
    I am examining an Oracle audit and now looking for all the default file/directory permissions on Unix and Windows. Have searched a lot of sites now but could not find a proper list with all the permissions mentiond. Does anybody knows where to find such a list (or script) to check if my current settings are ok?
    I use OEM to check for my open security policies but this permission item is very hard to find unfortunately.
    So please some info on this unix/windows permissions issue.
    Thanks,
    Paul
    btw Have found some settings for bdump, udump, adump, $OH/rdbms/log and audit (umask 0177) but want to check those other permissions for the whoe installed Oracle software en admin directories.

    Hi,
    Picked a few alerts from EM, for example:
    Allowed Logon Version
    Default Passwords
    Default Permanent Tablespace Set to a System Tablespace
    Initialization Parameter File Permission
    The last few weeks I have already disabled some of the policies but these are the alerts which are left now and I want to get rid of them.
    When you click in EM on "Initialization Parameter File Permission" the description of it is: Ensures that access to the initialization paramater file is restricted to the owner of the Oracle software set and the DBA group.
    So, ok thats is clear to me but I want to look at the whole server/database to make it a "clean" server/db.

  • Programs crash in one of the Windows 7 Accounts

    First of all, if you are reading this, I’m sorry it’s so long winded. But the issue is complex and I wanted to provide enough details to allow the best of solutions.
    I have two accounts in my Windows 7 Home Premium equipped Satellite L505D laptop. They are Administrator and Owner. I run in the Owner account. I have experienced several issues that have been blamed on problems with the Owner account.
    The worst issue is that the PC freezes up if I don’t turn on Silent mode in Norton Internet Suite 2010. If it’s not in Silent mode, the computer freezes up every time. Believing it to be a Norton issue, I spent literally more than 30 hours with Norton techs until the issue was escalated to a senior tech. After several more conversations and trials and errors, he suggested that I switch to Administrator mode and see if the machine freezes with Silent mode turned off. It didn’t freeze up at all. Therefore, it’s Norton’s opinion that there is an issue with "permissions" in the Owner account.
    A similar problem is that three or four other programs freeze up. They don’t cause the PC to stop working—only the program stops working. Of them, two are programs that are not on the Windows 7 compatibility list. Knowing they are not on the compatibility list, I installed them anyway and they work with no problem other than they sometimes freeze up. The other program that stops working is MS Outlook 2003, which is on the compatibility list, but it sometimes stops working, too.
    A final problem is that in the Owner account, I sometimes can not access files on my desktop PC via my LAN using Windows Explorer. I can always access the files from the Administrator account. In the Owner account, I’m unable to access the files about 1/3 of the time. But if they are accessible, they remain assessable until I turn off one or both of the PCs. When I reboot, it’s always a question whether I can access the files. However, even though I may not be able to view the files in Explorer, I have access to the files from within programs as long as it’s a recently opened file. For example, if I recently worked on a document in Microsoft Word on my laptop and the file is on the desktop PC, I can open the file from the laptop even though I can’t see the file with Windows Explorer. That is true of any program and any file as long as the file is listed in the recent files list of the program. If it’s not on the list and Explorer isn’t working, then I don’t have access to the file.
    I have had four or five conversations with Toshiba support techs since Norton gave me their opinion. Three said that I need to so a System Recovery. Two of the calls were today and the first one said that I could delete the Owner account and set up a new account. This would be a lot less time consuming than doing a complete recovery and I was hopeful it would resolve the issue. He was going to walk me through the procedure and we were disconnected. When I called back, the different rep discouraged me against replacing the Owner account. He suggested using a Restore Point. If that didn’t work, follow it with a System Repair. If that didn’t work, then the next step is full System Recovery. I checked the restore points and I have nothing newer than August and the problem dates back several months.
    So here are my questions: 1. Should I expect that replacing the current Owner account with a new Owner account will resolve the issue? 2. Could the issue be caused by the installation of programs that are not on the Win 7 compatibility list? 3. If the older programs do cause an operating system instability issue could that by resolved by an upgrade from Windows 7 Premium to Windows 7 Professional, which would allow me to run Windows XP in virtual machine mode?
    I would appreciate your input.
    Thank you.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. So you have problems in both the Owners and the newly minted Danny account….
    Jerry, yes the problem is with the Owner’s acct and has been all along. And it’s in the new account, Danny, which I created at your suggestion. As to whether they were created as "Standard" user accounts, I have to confess that I have no idea. You see, I have never had an appreciation for "Accounts" and, therefore, have never learned about their significance. So when I bought my Toshiba, I didn’t create any account. Although I have since learned that it came with two accounts, all I did was turn it on and start loading programs. I only learned about the Administrator account being separate from the Owner account in my many conversations with Norton. I have used the Owner account all along not by any design on my part. It was because it booted up in the Owner account.
    2. Worth tearing Norton out by its roots…
    I’ve been anti-Symantec for years. I just haven’t found Internet Security Suite that is rated as highly overall. I’ve been thinking about removing it to see if this problem would go away. I didn’t  because the senior tech support person convinced me it is a Windows "Permissions" issue. His viewpoint was more plausible because of the occasional freeze up of other programs (but the PC itself doesn't freeze up with them).
    3. There are dozens of Satellite L505Ds…
    Oops…I thought you were just asking for confirmation of the L505D nomenclature. The complete info is L505D-S5983, part number PSLV6U-00J001.
    4. Bingo. You got that right. I've hung around CompuServe since 1980…
    I was a CompuServe user long before their unfortunate acquisition by AOL. I had a couple of IDs over the years. I don’t remember the long term one. My current ID is DannySall. I logged into the WUGNET forum and found one of my postings from last May to which you replied. Outlook 2003 wouldn’t retain its password. I sent a reply to you on July 25 to say that I resolved the issue by deleting an account.
    5. Because of your Microsoft knowledge and connection, I'd like to ask you about something else. I have a few programs that are not on the Windows 7 compatibility list. I figured I had nothing to lose and tried installing them anyway. I was able to install all but one of them. They run with no problem. My question is this: Is it possible that installing non-compatible programs can damage the operating system and cause the problems I have?
    Thank you for all your time and suggestions.

  • ITunes can't save changes in Windows 7 64-bit

    I've got the latest version of iTunes (9.1.11.1) running on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit edition. Since I installed it and imported all my music and old database files (to preserve my playlists) I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't save the changes to iTunes because it doesn't have the rights to write to the "C" drive. Is there some permission I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Make sure your windows permissions are correct.
    Go into Windows Explorer. Find this folder
    C:\users\ username \My Music\iTunes
    Right-click > Properties, and go to the Security tab. Make sure your userID has _full control_ and ownership over that entire itunes folder, and all its /child/subfolders.
    You'll have to restart itunes so it will read the new permission settings.

  • Windows Update does not work, Windows Standalone Update Installer stops with error 0xc8000247 (Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire 1810TZ notebook)

    I purchased a new notebook with Windows 7 in October. During the first weeks I uninstalled McAfee and replaced the harddrive. Since November Windows Update fails with error messages and defender does not start anymore. I made several virus scans (complete) with multiple antivirus programs but nothing showed up.
    Since it took my days to install various software, I do not want to re-install W7. I also have no good backup that I could restore. 
    I am really surprised that there is not even a single entry regarding the error code in the Microsoft Knowledge base or elsewhere.
    I really would appreciate help. 

    I hit this same problem... I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. MS advise of doing; Windows7 re-installs, BIOS/firmware updates, drivers changed, etc etc etc.
    I installed a new(large) SEAGATE Momentus XT hybrid 750GB SATA drive upon newly purchased notebook, but the twist here is between the storage configuration mode in the BIOS, ATA vs. AHCI. See, the DELL BIOS required to configure my laptop storage for AHCI
    mode, because I had the 4GB Intel Flash Cache Module (Turbo Memory) installed on the DELL Precision notebook. The Flash Cache is installed internally in the mini-pcie slot, loaded the Intel storage drivers, and when it works, is an outstanding feature which
    supports:
    Windows ReadyDrive*
    Windows ReadyBoost*
     Looking at the details of the Intel storage drivers that support the INTEL TURBO MEMORY, they're from 2009. Of course it was recommended by users to install these drivers first before anything else, so it would function best, but this was part of the
    cause to all the problems with Windows 7.  I've provided links to Intel Flash Cache info for those interested. Unfortunately, loading the HP/Intel Storage drivers fixes the Windows permissions/update problems, but "Breaks" the Intel Turbo Flash Cache
    functionality now, even though Microsoft still supports ReadyDrive in Windows 7.
    "Intel® Turbo Memory is a primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data or user selected applications for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk accesses,
    saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency. That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows
    Vista*.
    Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor."
    Intel discontinued support for the modules or drivers with the marketing move to producing their own SSD storage drives.

    For me, I hit all the symptoms everyone else hit and thanks to humphrey for his find. I just wish Microsoft/Intel would get together and fix this Windows 7 issue between SW/HW; Large Drive Sizes, Licensing/Permissions, Flash Memory, ATA vs. ACHI, BIOS, etc.
    There's been an incredible amount of loss productivity, resources, and costs incurred on this one ISSUE by everyone involved.

  • Exe developed in 32 bit Windows XP not working in 64 bit Windows Vista

    Am using LabVIEW 8.6 demo version downloaded from internet and Windows XP 32 bit OS. I developed an application and created an exe which communicates with a USB smart card reader. That exe file works fine with that USB device in Windows XP 32 bit OS.
    But, when i used that application exe in Windows XP 64 bit OS, and also in Windows Vista 64 bit OS, the application is not working. The communication with the USB smart card reader is not at all establishing. The USB device will take appropriate 32 bit driver and 64 bit driver automatically when updating on various OSes.
    How to resolve this? Shall i have to install any 64 bit drivers for LabVIEW?

  • Permissions differ but don't seem to repair

    Hello,
    When I run verify permissions a long list of things pop up saying the permissions differ. But when I run repair permissions the same things pop up as differing permissions. I thought maybe it was just the computer telling me it was fixing the problem, but, out of curiosity, I ran verify permissions again. The same things popped up in the window. I've also got a problem with Safari, Mail, and iTunes hanging and when I try to force quit the application it won't actually force quit and the blue on light in the dock stays lit. I also noticed that one of the messages in verify permissions said something about iTunes. Could these two things possibly be connected. I was just about to run an archive install because I read in a thread that this would fix the latter problem of applications not quitting. But I also keep reading about verifying permissions before doing that, and I don't think I've had a successful verify and repair yet. Any and every piece of help is appreciated
    Edit-now it's saying that one thing is irreparable. Answers?
    Message was edited by: MichaelJZilla

    HI,
    The permissions issues and Safari/Mail and iTunes issues are NOT related.
    First. You can safely ignore the messages when you repair disk permissions. They are a result of recent software updates. As long as you see these words at the bottom of the window;
    Permissions repair complete, you have nothing to worry about.
    Now, applications that freeze or crash and you can't quit.. that's different. Might be an underlying problem. Boot from your install disk and check the hard disk for errors.
    *"and I don't think I've had a successful verify and repair yet."*
    Do you mean you've run Disk Utility and it's reported errors and they aren't repaired? Here's how to do that.
    Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    Check to see how much free disk space there is. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

  • Portal on Unix cannot mount Windows File server

    Hi Experts,
    We had installed a NW 7.0 portal onto HP-UNIX server and integrated it with MS AD server. Now, we are facing an issue that we cannot mount windows files server when we tried to configured it with TREX. Had anyone tried this function or it is the limitation? Is the following statement still correct or do we have workaround solutions?
    "If you are using the Microsoft Active Directory Service, you can only integrate documents into a Windows portal. The combination of Microsoft Active Directory Service and a UNIX portal is not supported."
    Best Regards

    Hi Tom,
    have a look at this link:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ed/b334ea02a2704388d1d2fc3e4298ad/frameset.htm]
    Your issue should work, but the prerequisite is for using the windows permissions:
    "If you are using Microsoft Active Directory Service, you have to operate the Windows domain in mixed mode". If it is running in Native mode you cannot use the windows permissions. Nevertheless integrating documents into KM should work. The KM uses its own permissions instead.
    Best regards,

  • Airport extreme with USB hard drive permissions problem may be parallels

    I cannot access my external hard drive because of some permission problem. I know because I can see this through the disk repair utility. I've attached my external hard drive to my airport extreme. It originally came up well and worked fine. Then it lost connection and now doesn't recognize my password. To confuse matters worse I have parallels installed. This might be where the password problem is as the mac wants to access as a guest and the parallels (windows MX) as my account name. It's all pretty complicated to explain. What I want to do now is just to forget the airport plan and reach my hard drive but it won't boot up even with airport off and a direct firewire connection. It does show up in disk repair utility but with permissions. How can I get to these permissions and drop them. What if they're windows permissions somehow? How can I get started.
    Thanks

    I have a very similar problem. I have a 2.8 GHz iMac with 2GB RAM and am using OS X v10.5.4, and an Airport Extreme (v7.3.2), both updated to latest firmware. I have a 500 GB TrekStor external HD connected to the AEBS via USB. The TrekStor HD was pre-formatted in FAT32 and is visible on my iMac's desktop and in Finder but I cannot transfer files to it or see files on it. When I drag and drop a file on the TrekStor, it sometimes seems to go well but then the file is not visible via Finder, and sometimes I get an "insufficient privileges" message. I repair permissions on the iMac's internal HD without any change. I am logged in as the admin. All assistance is much appreciated!
