  3. 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.

  4. how to restrict access to change security permissions for files and folders

    Windows reports "You don't currently have permission to access this folder".

    Hello,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. I understand the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.






    • Does this happen only with a specific folder/file location?


    This problem results when an administrator, the owner of the file or folder, or a user with the Change Permissions permission for a file or Full Control permission for a folder, changes the access control list (ACL) on the file or folder. Some of the
    changes that could deny a user access to a file or folder they should be able to access include:

    • The user or group was unintentionally removed from Group or User names on the file's or folder's Security tab.





    • An explicit Deny has mistakenly been applied to the user or group.





    • A conflict between share permissions and NTFS permissions was created when someone changes permissions without examining both types of permissions.



    Method 1:

    Let’s give permission to the folder and check if that helps. Follow these steps to give permissions to the drive.

    a) Right-click on the folder which you’re unable to access and select Properties.

    b) Click on ‘Security’ tab and under ‘Group or user names’ click on ‘Edit’.

    c) Click on ‘Add’ and type ‘everyone’.

    d) Click on ‘Check names’ and then click ‘OK’.

    e) Select ‘everyone’ and under ‘Allow’ select
    ‘Full control’ and click on ‘Apply’ and Click ‘Ok’.





    Method 2:

    I would suggest you to try the steps in the article and check if it helps.

    "Access Denied" or other errors when accessing or working with files and folders in Windows

    "Access Denied" or other errors when you access or work with files and folders in Windows - Microsoft Support

    (Try the steps for Windows 8 as it is applicable to Windows 10 as well.)



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us with more information and we’d be happy to help.
