Kalju Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Sorry, but you wanted to protect Your files and folders? Or did not want? Happened accidentally? Turn protection of, set backup program and put it in exceptions. If it don't help, take full ownership, ie You'll get all permissions and after that do what You want. PS! An external download links must be sharecoded, if they are not official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steinom Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Search for this file in forum "Add_Take_Ownership_to_context_menu" and merg to register as the easiest way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It's much easier to use Windows 10 Manager (or another if you don't have Windows 10). It's all there. Search for Take ownership under context menu manager. But I personally don't think you can change it if software producer have protected it, then it is protected so that the administrator privileges is not enough to change. You need system privileges.

mp68terr Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Instead of trying to change the access rights through the OS used to install your app, what about booting the computer with an 'external' OS (CD, usb key; winpe and the like) and copying the files you need?

eurobyn Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If you want permissions on a file or directory . (whole disk ) use this download Some tekst from Publisher : GrantPerms is a small portable tool that can be used to check permissions or unlock multiple files and folders. It is useful in cases where malware locks security files and system files and prevent them from running even after the malware is removed. Tested and works perfect. I hope it helped you.

steinom Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 thanks， add "take ownership to context menu" is no response to the "data" folder . Yes it is, it will give you access to all folders you want to open/access (it is an dos script as change security status for folder you want to change status/security level for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nOkialpha Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 i think better option is to boot from winPE(eg. winPE Sergei_Strelec), after that copy and save your desired files, as no restriction is applied if you are accessing your C drive using winPE maye be i am wrong but it is better than changing the permission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp68terr Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Here again are the several things to try on your locked folder: 1. try unlocker freeware (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/). Working fine under w7, don't know about w10. 2. here are the commands used to take ownership (as admin) and to give it back to win TrustedInstaller takeown /f "path to the directory" /r /d Y icacls "path to the directory" /grant administrators:F /t do your stuff there as admin: rename, delete, copy, etc... icacls "path to the directory" /setowner "NT Service\TrustedInstaller" /T /C icacls "path to the directory" /c /t /reset Working fine under w7, don't know about w10. Might be similar to grantperms, never tried since unlocker worked fine. 3. as proposed a couple of days ago: use an 'external' OS, to copy your files and forget about the permissions.

PChunter can copy the "date" folder, but the registration information become invalid when restore the "date" folder, in addition, takeown, cacls, icacls simply can not modify the ownership of the "date" folder.
