    Default User Directory No Permission - is that right?

    I have a crowded desktop and reducing the icons in my user desktop directory didn't help much so I figured they're all in the default user directory.

    but when I went to get in there I go told I had no permission.

    when I looked at the permissions nothing seemed to have any permissions. I am logged in as an admin.

    What should the situation be and how can I safely change it to let me clean up some of those desktop icons?

  3. Default group permissions for ProgramData folder?

    Here are the User permissions I have in my Windows 10 Home Explorer for Program Data:

    CREATOR OWNER - Allow Special Permissions

    SYSTEM - Allow Full control, Modify, Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read, Write

    Administrators - Same as System

    Users - Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read, Special Permissions

    There are also default Windows 10 NTFS file permissions here:

    Are user\appdata directory permissions set to Full by default in Windows 10?

    Windows 10 permissions...

    Ok so I feel officially dumb I am trying to copy my steam library to my NAS. Both are on windows 10 pro and both have full control in the file manager. Neither windows nor fast copy will allow me to copy, both list a permissions error? This was never an issue with windows 7...so first off thank you microsoft god forbid I want to back up my data, second off what the heck do I need to do to make this work. All I could fine online was to set full control and that obviously didn't help.

    Also robocopy doesn't apparently work with network locations?
