    Profile permissions


    Hi I have a problem with one user profile on my Windows10 PC. Log into the other profile and everything works fine. I'm wondering if I could have inadvertently changed permissions, set to read only, or locked my main profile directory when I was trying to show hidden files? (The problem happened directly after I tried to do this late at night)
    The task bar is frozen and most of the programs don't work; for instance iTunes says it cannot access its library and the disk maybe locked, Windows Live Mail says it may not be installed correctly, the disk maybe full or I could have run out of memory (i haven't), Firefox says it is already running, (it isn't).

    It seems like these programs cannot access the files they need to run properly , I'd be really interested to know if anyone has any thoughts on what the problem might be.

    :)

    User profile permissions

    Each day I have to reset my files to Full Access through the %userprofile% method and each new day it reverts back to No Access.

    How stupid is that?

    I want to terminate the Microsoft Cloud nonsense which I think is doing this, how do I cancel it and get out of it?

    Please Help!
