    Can't access any folders after modify registry permission


    Hi,


    I am in a big trouble and need help.


    FIrst, i got a problem that i can't open my win10 microsoft edge explorer.

    I searched online and found some solutions say that this might be due to conflict of user permission to the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and by changing the permission the problem can be solved.


    I find this key, right click and select permissions, and give users a full control permission. After i apply this, the strange thing happens that i can't open any folder or startup, or search function. I can still open chrome and word documents.


    Could you please suggest a solution?

    Thanks very much.

    :)

    how an administrator can give permission to access folders

    Hi John,

    To provide user/s an access to folders, see the steps below on how to do so:

    • Right-click on the folder > Security.
    • Under the Group or user names option, click on the username that you want to have an access to the folder; then, click on Edit.
    • It will show you the page of permissions which you can allow or deny.
    • Choose your desired permissions and click on OK.

    Let us know what happens after following the steps given.

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with permission.

    To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.1. Is the issue specific with a particular folder?

    2. What is the complete error message?

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:


    • Permission issue.

    • Corrupt User Account.

    • Damaged files.

    I suggest you to try the steps under the section Issue 1:
    I get an "Access Denied" error message when accessing or working with files and folders
    in the following article and check if it helps.
