Windows 10: Cannot modify existing folders/files in default user directories?

Randomly all of a sudden, I cannot modify existing files/folders in any of the default user directories (Music, Pictures, Documents, etc.)

I can create new files/folders but cannot delete, rename, move, etc. them once created or ones that already exist.

Permissions show my account as the owner and I have full control.

Activating the admin account and attempting to take ownership fails, access denied. I have the same limits when logged in to the Admin account (can create but cannot modify).

Ran sfc, it found some issues, reports they are fixed.

Booting in safe mode has no effect.

Other folders/files appear fine. It’s only the default ones under my user account. If I create some new folders under the user account root, those can manipulated without issue.

Any ideas WTF this is about?

Directory Size Utility

First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel?
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?

 

Directory Size Utility

Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

Now on to your suggestions.

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.

These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:

 

Is it possible to modify the default User Icon on the login screen?

This is not the Logged in User Icon, this is the Default user or "Other User" Screen



On Windows 7, this was modified with the AUTHUI.DLL. Doing the above steps of modifying the User-XXX.png files has no affect
