  1. Fix permission error


    I have Windows 10. When I try to download files pdf, jpeg, etc. I get an error, “You don’t have permission to modify files in this network location. Contact the administrator per permission to make these changes.” Well, I am the administrator.


    Based on posts, many other people have had the same problem. I have taken some steps that fixed the issue only temporarily, including disabling parental controls.

    I also changed "Authenticated Users" was set to Full Control in the folder's Properties/Security tab setting, but as soon as I downloaded a file, the problem recurred.


    I need a permanent solution. Could someone please help me?

    :)

  2. No permissions

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
    folder with your username and follow these steps:

    • 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. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
