    Lock Icons appear on my files


    I am doing a lot of work in one folder. Yesterday, Lock icons appeared on each file, but they do not seem to be locked. I can open them with their applications, and do a save as to a different location. They save without the lock icon. I have scanned with Bit Defender and Malware Bytes. No problems found.

    Other folders within the Parent folder, are clean.


    I made a new parent folder, moved all files in the original to the new one, all was well. Then this morning, I went to the folder I'm working in, and lock Icons appear.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Lock Icon


    I am having issues being able to paste files into a folder that has a lock icon on it. I am not the owner of the folder, my boss is. I am using Windows Pro 10 and my boss is using Windows 8.1. I can open files contained within the folder but cannot paste files into the folder. I have opened properties and gone to the security tab and I am listed within the Group or user names list and my permissions are all at allow. Any suggestions?

  3. Appended icon in some files in Win7

    Ah LMAO

    Now i think what's it is

    The Admin account Im on has denied permissions of access for other users (cannot access folder lists, no reading no writting)

    But I can others.

    Some of the Fraps Movies I moved from C:/ other_user ... to D: ... but D is public for everyone. (games/data)

    But still why the heck do encoded files retain that ... it's weird.

    EDIT: There should be some win7 article on this, there should be more of these variants. But there's no LOCK icon on the folders either.

    Also I found the LOCK icon to be kind of stupid ... when you have access it's shown as "locked" but when you dont have access it's not shown at all.

    Yes the permissions are retained for other_user , it's denied and I also can't seems to remove that ... Ah these inherited permissions, need to move em around ... but need to wait to complete first.
