Windows 10: NTFS Permissions...

I am unable to change the permission of a folder.

I have never come across this problem until now and it's irritating because I am unable to download steam games due to the fact my folder is stuck in read-only and every time I un-check the box and click apply, the folder stays in read only. It doesn't even give an "access denied" or anything...


Below is a gif of me trying to change permissions via security tab...





Here is another gif of me trying to un-check read only permission.




I only have one account on my computer which is stated as an "Administrator".


Below is a gif of the default permission settings.

xp ntfs permissions erased - help!

NEVER, ever, remove FULL CONTROL permissions in the Access Control Lists/rights priveleges from:

• Administators Group

• YOUR local Administrator User

• SYSTEM

on NTFS rights on your disks (via Explorer.exe rightclick properties menu, security tab) that use that filesystem, OR in the REGISTRY either, via rightclick on HIVES/KEYS permissions popup menu options...

(Sure way to lock yourself out, period, & I have done it myself early on w/ NTFS filesystems &/or the Registry before... only way to learn sometimes, is making mistakes!)

* Keep this in mind, those of you that start experimenting w/ security @ these 2 levels!

P.S.=> Leaving them @ FULL POWER, in both areas, usually 9/10 times allows you to get back into your rig (logging on as your LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR USER, to fix it), & make alterations to rights/acl's as needed, to "get it right", eventually... especially when you're still learning/experimenting! apk

 

Which permissions override when using Folder permissions and NTFS permissions?

I teach this all the time.

The way it works is the most restrictive applies when combining share and NTFS permissions.

What that means is if you share a folder as read and then you set NTFS permissions as read and write you are only going to get read. Because it is the most restrictive when combined.

So basically set your share permissions for your group as full control then use NTFS permissions to create the restrictions.

So if you want a group to be able to read and write but not delete then set share as full control from that group. Then go to NTFS permissions and set explicit permissions for that group to only read and write.

Let me know if you need further clarification.
