| | Access denied to folder I was changing permissions on a folder as an administrator. My toddler came in, distracted me, and I denied Full Control to Authenticated Users on the folder (I was not paying attention like I should have been). Now, even logged on as an administrator, I cannont access or delete the folder. I am the only Admin on the the system, and shows full contol. I think that the Authenticated Users override this (?) Any help? I really need to just delete the folder at this point, but am denied. Thanks -- rfreedm |

| | Re: Access denied to folder Hello, yes, it may likely override the permissions. Try right-clicking the folder -> Properties -> tab "Security" > Advanced -> tab "Owner" -> Edit -> use your user name as owner, check the box "... for all subcontainers..." -> OK . Give the Authenticated Users all the necessary permissions in Properties -> tab "Security" -> Edit for deleting. Then, try deleting again. Hope this will help you. Greetings, P.

| | Re: Access denied to folder This did the trick. Thanks for the assist. I tried this earlier, but missed a step. Folder was deleted and some long hours of work recovered! -- rfreedm "P.
