    Windows 10 continually suggests Using Edge instead of IE

    Is this free Outlook a desktop app or a modern "Metro" style app? I never use the modern apps unless I absolutely have to and so far I've never had to except for some system settings.

    these are super-protected folders. they are owned by "trusted installer"
    go into advanced permissions, then ownership, use advanced tab and find your user identity, take ownership of the folder and all sub-folders, and then afterwards windows will grant you permission if you ask nicely
