Windows 7 is expensive and after xp only become worse. I was thinking i need to unlock the folder with some kind of unlock software, till i started googling and found this page. It will do everything for you and put a smile on your face….. My bad, I posted the wrong link…sorry! To complete these steps, you must check that the object you want to gain control of is not inheriting some permission from a upper file or group that has no permission or for which you have no permission. Using the above steps I still got the message that I had no permissions.
This feature is fine. The implementation, however, is terrible. All of the litterally thousands of files from my old XP install now haver permissions set so that only the administrator account can access them. In order to change them over, I have to set the secrurity for each file individually, typing out the administrator password every time.
This is directly after entering the administrator password. Bloody brilliant. Trust Microsoft to take a useful security feature and turn it into a horrific nightmare of endless drudgery.
I need help this is driving me crazy!!!!!!!! Any more advice? It took 1 tree to supply the paper. Windows XP is 10x better than Windows 7 in everything. I can say so because I have both at my home in 2 different computers near each other, and sometimes to compare them I use both at the same time.
Nice Info I must say, and I did this already but unfortunatlly it did not work for me at least not for what I was doing. I own Windows server similar to Windows 7 and appears to be that disabling UAC fixed my problem.

Thank You So Much! Would like to do something like that from the root of my removable HD. Because I dread having to go manually through over 10, files. Right now it only seems to work for the object you selected, would love to see another one that does the same but includes files and subdirectories.
There is a God…. D: help me! I hate windows and if I had more money I would have switched to apple already…. I have a Mac and a Win 7 laptop. This is brutal…. They were encrypted in one way, so unless permissions are set right back to the old way you had them who remembers or can keep track!? I hate Windows right now — I just want to reset all to default.
Ok, I just read the post by Johnny5 about him being experienced in these matters and having problems after a CLEAN install, I assume with the files he backed up…the rest of what he said was kind of gobbledegook for me, but I swear…I have the answer for all of you unlucky enough not to own the solution. But here it is….. Get a Mac. I swear….
Of course it is write protected! Is that really asking too damn much??? I have no idea why my files would be write protected? Certainly not by my choosing.

Write a different program for office networks. Mostly we have this problem cause we got a new windows on an old system.
OK if your doing this I know point and click is annoying if you want to do multiple items like this and if you have it organized folders and sub folders ect.
