    Locked Files on HD that have full access... How to retrieve


    I have a seagate hard drive with thousands of graphic files on it. Randomly, a few hundred have a lock icon on the files. If I try to open I get "error code 0x80071771" When I looked this up, they tell me to modify permissions. I checked all the permissions, and they are open to everyone. I read somewhere this happens when the HD is not properly ejected. I even tried unlocking software which told me the files are not locked. How can I open these files? How can I fix this problem. Please help. My current machine is Windows 10.

    :)

    Retrieve Custom Windows 10 Lock Screen Image

    I am trying to retrieve the current Lock Screen image of my Windows 10 Surface which is quickly dying.

    The original file has been lost (only copy) and now the only one that remains is the one on the Surface lock screen.

    I have tried going to the Assets folder as suggested, and even looking up the value of the LandscapeAssetPath registry key to locate the file, but the key is empty!!

    Obviously it is still stored SOMEWHERE on the drive, just have no clue where to look.
