Cabbage Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've had this problem for a while but I've let it go without trying to fix it until now! Basically I'm absolutely completely locked out of certain directories or files on my computer. For example I have a file in my music folder called "Tsunami Bomb" which contains 12 mp3 files. The security tab in the properties window has Ben (Ben-PC\Ben) under Group or usernames and the permissions for everything other than "Special permissions" has a check next to it. However when I try to delete the directory I get an error as follows.You need permission to perform this actionYou require permission from Ben-PC\Ben to make changes to this folderThe security tab on the individual files within the folder have the group or user names as following:S-1-5-21-4254723933-1637934520-504412915-1000S-1-5-21-4254723933-1637934520-504412915-1001I can gain permission by manually adding myself as a user and setting control to full but I don't want to do this with every directory that I'm locked out of (about 2 or 3) and I was wondering if I can do it for the whole folder? The folder as mentioned has me as the owner but I think because each file is individually assigned to the random names above it over-rides my authority within the file.My current OS is Windows 7 build 7000, although the problem persists in Vista. There isn't a problem in Linux.Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Windows 7 is still only a time limited Beta - so you will experience problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
