  1. Error message: You do not have permission to access \\Computer-B


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 Pro on computer-A along with a new motherboard. I'm trying to access files from other computers on my home network. I have created both shared and security permissions for Everyone on all three computers. Computer-A is on Ethernet connection as well as Computer-B. Computer-C is on WiFi connection. Computer-B and -C have windows 10 Home installed. Computer-B can access files in both Computer-A and -C in File Explorer. Computer-A can see Computer-B and -C in File Explorer, but when I click on those computers to access the files I get the error message in the subject line above. Computer-C cannot see any computer in File Explorer. Can anyone offer help so than computer-A and -C can access the files in the other two computers? I'm not to concerned about accessing other computers from computer-C, but I really need to resolve being able to access computer-B and -C from computer-A.

    :)

  2. cannot access file/or permissions

    I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

    Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

    Please help me as I really need to run This file.

    Permission to access network

    Hi Kristen,

    You might be experiencing this issue because you lost permission to access the network resource or shortcut after upgrading your computer. To better assist you with this problem, we would like to know the following information.

    • Are you using the shortcut to access a file or folder located on another computer in the network?
    • Is the file or folder located on the computer that you recently upgraded?
    • What is the exact error message that you received when accessing the shortcut?
    • Are you using a homegroup to share files between devices on your local network?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    In the meantime, let's run the Network troubleshooter. This troubleshooter finds and fixes common connection problems. Here's how:

    • Click Start.
    • Start typing Network problems, and then select
      Identify and repair network problems
      in the results.
    • Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

    If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post a reply.
