Windows 7 giving permission errors, while on Administrator account.
I just reinstalled windows, and i unrared a archive on one of my other harddisks.
Now when i try to delete that same directory, its telling me i need permission to perform this action.This while i am on the Administrator account(activated through Command prompt).
Anybody knows whats going on?
How can a Admin account require permissions.
Who else would give permissions? God perhaps ? lol
Go to the directory in question, right click /Properties/security and see that your current account has full control. Your current account must have either ownership or explicit deletion rights (including group rights, such as Administrators)
It has full permissions, that's the weird thing.
The only thing I can add is to go at the file from whatever account has Ownership. That's under the Advanced button on the security tab. But theoretically it shouldn't matter. Unless it's not a permission issue, but a process is locking it, in which case Safe Mode might do it.
OK thanks, did not think about that myself.
Gonna give that a shot, if that doesn't work i am pretty much out of ideas.
