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.

 

Permissions to save updated files denied

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

I suggest you to perform the below given steps and check if it resolve the permission issue.

• Right click on the file and click on Properties.
• Click on Security, check Owner should be "SYSTEM" in
  Advance tab.
• Now check the save for C:\Users\<username>
• Owner should also be "SYSTEM"
• Check the users you signed into windows as (should be your Microsoft account) should be in the "Permissions entries" list with "Full Contol"
  
• If not, Add the user you are logged in as.
• All the folders and sub-folders below should be "owned" by the user you are logged into windows with
  importantly, have a permissions entry for "full control"
  
• Check for all the related folder where you are getting same error, but for some reason that same user is missing a "Permission Entry". Add a "full control" entry for the user and you should be able to save to that folder
  and all sub-folders

Hope this information helps. Post back with updated issue details for further help.

Thank you.

 

Permission issues

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

This may be caused by incorrect permissions on the files.

You can fix this using these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
