    How to ensure drive/folder/file permissions are correct?


    I have:


    • Drive 1 - SSD (boot)
    • Drive 2 - HDD (storage)
    • Drive 3 - HDD (storage)
    • Drive 4 - External HDD (storage)

    I have reinstalled Windows several times over the time I've had drives 2, 3 and 4. I believe the "life" of the drives has spanned from Windows 8, to 8.1 and now to 10.

    I have always only been the single user of the PC.

    Sometimes, when I try to move files between drives, I get a message stating I need to be an administrator to continue. I can simply click Continue (or OK, I don't quite remember) and it transfers just fine.

    How can I ensure drive/folder/file permissions are correct on all of the drives?

    :)

    "locked" files

    I have a specific folder of pictures, that now appears to be locked. Upon clicking the icon, Windows photo viewer opens the following message:

    "__filename__

    It looks like you don't have permission to view this file. Check the permissions and try again."

    Next steps:

    1. Set my user as the drive owner, and all sub-folders.

    2. Ensured that my user had "Full Control" permissions

    The permission is just the uac if you copy files ok then it's set right

    I have (and have always had, since the Vista days) UAC completely switched off.


    The dialogue is a permission dialogue, not a security one.
