    Administrator has Insufficient privileges


    Hi,
    I would like to modify an .inf file located here:

    Code:
    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\android_winusb.inf_amd64_bd75d06c56998078
    but windows don't let me do it. Pretexting that I don't have enough rights to do it.

    I tried with the super administrator trick:

    activating administrator account into the computer management settings
    logging with the administrator account
    trying to modify the file.

    When trying to add modification rights to the folder the error is still the same; insufficient privileges.

    The terms are maybe not the same for you as my windows is in french.

    Thanks.

    Fix "insufficient privileges to access this directory"

    Hi!

    Try the following:

    Step 1:

    Manually change permissions to Full Control for the SYSTEM and Everyone groups for the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.

    On your keyboard, press Windows + R to open the Run window.

    In the Open field, enter the path C:\ProgramData\COMMON FILES\ and click OK. A window opens and displays the folder contents.

    In the Folder window, click Organize then choose Properties.

    Windows 10: Select Properties on the top ribbon of folder window.

    In the Properties window, go to the Security tab.

    Click the Advanced button.

    Click the Edit button.

    Scroll down the list of Permission entries and double-click the SYSTEM user.

    Select the checkbox for the Full Control row in the Allow column and click OK.

    Repeat steps a to h with the Everyone group (if it exists).

    Check the checkbox labeled Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object.

    Click OK in both the Advanced Security Settings window and again in the COMMON FILES Properties window.

    Step 2:

    On your keyboard, press Windows + R to open the Run window.

    Copy and paste RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Options_RunDLL 0 and press Enter.

    On the View tab, scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings list.

    Clear the Use simple file sharing (recommended) checkbox.

    Select OK and proceed with your program installation
