    Cannot view files that i have taken ownership of


    Hi All,


    I have some files from a previous PC that i have put onto an external HDD, I have now taken ownership of these files however i still do not have permission to view said files? I have gone through just about all security TABs etc and still cannot figure out with the help or lack there of from google.


    Can anyone help me view files and photos that i now have ownership of?!



    When i try to open the files and photos i get. " It appears that you don't have permission to view this file. Check the permissions and try again."


    When i right click the photo or file and go to attributes - advanced , Compress or Encrypt Attributes sub section which has Encrypt contents to secure data ticked. When unticked and i press ok, then apply i get an error white is saying to me The specified file could not be decrypted.


    The files and photos all have a padlock on them.


    Confused.


    Any help is highly appreciated.


    Sincerly, Annoyed Windows 10 User.

    :)

  2. How to I list folders and files inside the WindowsApps folder WITHOUT taking ownership?

    Hi guys!

    Like the Subject says "How to I list folders and files inside the WindowsApps folder WITHOUT taking ownership?"

    Because every single time I've taken ownership of WindowsApps it breaks something. But I have to get the path to my games installed there.

    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    Cannot view files that i have taken ownership of

    file permissions/ownership troubles

    a while back my main user account got corrupted somehow and the only way to get to my files was to take ownership of them in my other admin account. but now i'm stuck with having to retake ownership of these files every time i try to access it from another computer or user account, which makes sharing multimedia to my xbox 360 impossible. is there a way to just remove all of these permission settings back to normal? its REALLY getting frustrating with the access denied crap, its even interfering with some .msi install files. *Mad Cannot view files that i have taken ownership of :mad:*Cry :cry:

    this also puts my new computer build on hold since i need to transfer the files but i'm stuck with the ownership crap

    edit: btw its on windows xp pro sp3
