Windows 10: Document files locked.

I have a CD-R disc with some document files created by me using Word Perfect OfficeX6, and downloaded into

my Dell 3670 computer with Win.10. tried to file them under Document. During the process I was asked how to file

by giving me a few choices, Windows Media Player, WordPad, and so on. Unfortunately, I mistakenly selected

" Windows Media Player " resulting in all the files are locked, and could not be opened. I need to know badly how

to get these files opened. Thank you !

:)

 

documents files and folders

Hi Paul,

For better assistance, we'd like to ask the following:

• What were the steps you've tried to reverse the alphabetization of files and folder name?
• Can you provide us a sample screenshot of the issue?

We're looking forward to your reply.

 

documents

Hi Richard,



To sort your documents in your File Explorer by date, we suggest following the steps below:

• Type File Explorer in Cortana search box to open File Explorer.
• Go to the folder that you want to sort.
• Click on View that is located on the top part of the window.
• Click on Sort by.
• Choose Date.

Your files should be sorted by date with this option.



Let us know if this works for you.

 

Scanned Documents will not post to file in Windows 10

Hi Dougars,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later.

Next try to scan the documents and check if it shows the same error code.

Please let us know if it’s working.
