    Windows 10 - Folder Permissions - Blocked - Access Is Denied after installing App from the Windows Store

    I have had this exact issue and nothing works to fix-so frustrating being a lab rat sometimes. But you're idea to create a new folder and call it Save Documents" -- a logical name-- WORKED for me , so thank you for the fix. Maybe now I can get back to work
    instead of chasing my documents around!

  3. Windows 10 - Cannot adjust theme settings

    All Windows system folders are Read Only, but you should be able to create new files inside that folder. The OS is not going to let you change that attribute (nor should you) because it may result in system instability. System folders are set Read Only to
    prevent accidental (or intentional) renaming or deletion.

    If you check a Windows 7 machine at the same location (%systemroot%\media) you will find the Sound Theme folders and they too are Read Only. You should be able to Copy and Paste data into those folders though. I just tested it on my Win 10 machine and it
    worked. If you can connect to a machine across your network that has the files you want, try copying them to you Win 10 computer.

    I am surprised that there was nothing in the themes folders, because my Win 10 PC has files in those folders. I did upgrade from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro so that may be how the folders got populated with files. I just tested copying files from a Win 7 machine
    to the Win 10 machine and it worked so give it a try.

    Hello Thermaltake,

    In the C: drive, C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\Windows root directory folders and all of their subfolders, you will only have New -> Folder available.

    You can still copy what want into the folder though.

    Hope this helps some, *Smile

    It's done to protect the system by not allowing files to be directly created or saved in to system folders.

    It was the same in Windows 8.1 as well unless you were signed in to the built-in Administrator account.
