Win7 User Admin permissions broken

Basically it's an administrative user not the root admin , I don't know what it went wrong with settings and i forogot , but the permissions for it account were messed and now it cannot delete/edit sometimes stuff that came from rar or downloader or even installs, plus cannot uninstal most of programs , it's only possible with root admin (hidden), is there a way to restore these privilegies.

Also the error points "You need administrative privilegies from Administrators/[Nickname] "
BUT I AM THE DAMN USER !!!!

It's not my PC so i really don't want to dig it up from scratch.


The PC has RAID0 so basically im not going to go over that again with a reinstall/reformat. ... takes time.

Hi Mindspaceoutsourcing,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

To create an admin user with the permission to modify folders and files but not have domain admin access, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a new user account

1. Log in to the computer or server as an administrator.
   
2. Open the "Control Panel" and navigate to "User Accounts".
   
3. Click on "Manage another account" and then "Add a new user account".
   
4. Enter a username and password for the new user account and click "Create Account".
   

Step 2: Add the user account to the local Administrators group

1. Open the "Control Panel" and navigate to "Administrative Tools".
   
2. Click on "Computer Management".
   
3. In the left pane, click on "Local Users and Groups".
   
4. Click on "Groups" and then double-click on "Administrators".
   
5. Click on "Add" and enter the username of the new user account.
   
6. Click "OK" to add the user account to the Administrators group.
   

Step 3: Create a shared folder and grant the new user account full access

1. Create a folder on the computer or server that you want to share.
   
2. Right-click on the folder and select "Properties".
   
3. Click on the "Sharing" tab and then click "Advanced Sharing".
   
4. Check the box next to "Share this folder".
   
5. Click on the "Permissions" button.
   
6. Click "Add" and enter the username of the new user account.
   
7. Select the new user account from the list and click "OK".
   
8. Grant the new user account full control permissions by checking the box next to "Full Control".
   
9. Click "OK" to save the changes.
   

Step 4: Set file and folder permissions

1. Right-click on the folder you want to modify and select "Properties".
   
2. Click on the "Security" tab and then click "Edit".
   
3. Click "Add" and enter the username of the new user account.
   
4. Select the new user account from the list and click "OK".
   
5. Grant the new user account the necessary permissions by checking the appropriate boxes (e.g., "Modify", "Write", "Read & Execute").
   
6. Click "OK" to save the changes.
   

Step 5: Remove the new user account from any other groups with domain admin access

1. Open the "Control Panel" and navigate to "Administrative Tools".
   
2. Click on "Computer Management".
   
3. In the left pane, click on "Local Users and Groups".
   
4. Click on "Users" and then double-click on the new user account.
   
5. Click on the "Member Of" tab.
   
6. Remove the new user account from any groups that give it domain admin access.
   
7. Click "OK" to save the changes.
   

By following these steps, you should now have an admin user with the necessary permissions to modify folders and files but without domain admin access.

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
