    After reinstalling Windows, I now don't have permissions for my own files.


    I have reinstalled Windows using 10 Home Edition by moving it from a 120GB SSD to a 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD. This is because the 120GB kept getting so full that it was causing Windows to crash a lot, and I found it a pain to manage the files every few days to keep Windows from crashing.I did this by making a boot drive with an external USB hard drive.Now my old disk drives are inaccessible because of a lack of permissions. There are some files which I can access, but some folders which Windows won't allow me to even open, despite being the only user account which is an admin account on the comput

    Windows 7 - Messed up permissions

    Well, i figured out what 1/2 the problem was after reinstalling windows. If you disable GUI Boot and there is a diskscan scheduled, the pc will appear to hang *Bang Head :banghead:

    Still, i had the problem with permissions that i couldn't edit the boot files using msconfig.exe. The tool didn;t fix it *Frown After reinstalling Windows, I now don't have permissions for my own files. :(

    After reinstalling Windows, I now don't have permissions for my own files.

    cannot access file/or permissions

    I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

    Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

    Please help me as I really need to run This file.
