Windows 10: You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this file

HirenAghera · Jan 17, 2019

I had installed PTC creo 4.0 student version on my laptop, but it didn't opened even after successful installation. I uninstalled the software but some files couldn't be deleted which was located in C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\Mathcad PDSi\Resource\CMap.

These files were generated by default by the software.

The dialog box shown when tried to delete.

Can anyone resolve this issue?

System Permission required

Hi Peter,

The message that you've encountered when deleting the USERS folder can be due to a permission set on it. To change the permission of the affected folder, follow these steps:

Right click the the parent folder.

Select Properties.

Select the Security tab.

Click Edit to change the permission.

Select the new owner, and then put a check mark in the Full
control box.

Click Apply, then OK.

Once you're done, the folder can now be deleted.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

how to change folder and file permissions in windows 10

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Are you trying to give permission to particular files and folders?

I suggest you to follow the below step and check if it helps.

Once you choose the file that you want to give permission, right click on it.

Click on properties and go to security tab, check whether any permission have been set.

After you have viewed the permissions that are already set, you can now click on the Advanced Button that is right below the "Permissions for Authenticated Users"

Once you have clicked Advanced, a box like this should appear, the "Permission Entries" box, which shows all the permissions that are set for the users. Now, after you have spotted the user whose permissions you wish to change, click "Change Permissions.

Click on the user you would like to edit, and then click the option that says "Change Permissions" which is right below the box.

Once that is clicked, you are going to get the same box pop up, but this time, you can actually edit the options. You do that by clicking the "Administrators" user again, and this time, you are going to click the "Edit" option.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
