Vista - Permissions

When I try to run QuickTime I get an Error #-2095 alert. When I click
Run As Administrator it opens OK.

I am the owner and sole user of the computer!

How do a give full permissions to myself?

I tried going to the program file, opening properties and then the
Permissions tab. There are 3 entries in the top window:

SYSTEM
Administrator (EUSTACE PC\Adminstrators)
Users (EUSTACE PC\Users)

When I click the last, in the lower window I see checked only Read &
Execute and Read, not Full control and the others.

I clicked Edit, and added checkmarks to everything (except Special
Permissions that I can't).

I click OK and return to the former dialog, but the permissions for
Users have not changed.

When I click Advanced I see 4 lines. Lines 2 and 3 are System and
Administrator. Lines 1 and 4 are:

Allow Users (EUSTACE PC\Users) Full Control <not inherited>
Allow Users (EUSTACE PC\Users) Read & Execute C:\Program Files\

Is the second line necessary?

If I highlight it and click Edit and then highlight it again and click
Edit, check Full control, OK, the dialog closes and in the first dialog
the line 1 is highlighted and line 4 is the same.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Eustace

For whole folder where QuickTime is stored give Users group MODIFY right

It may be a registry key permission that is causing the problem.

I checked Modify in Users but it didn't work...

Any other ideas?

applies to my case: there is no problem with assigning permissions to
other users. Let's see:

When in the Registry I highlight QuickTime and click Edit > Permissions,
there are 4 groups/users in the list:

CREATOR/OWNER
SYSTEM
Administrator...
Users...

I have added Full Control to the Users (me). No effect.

Anything else?

the install exe and select ' Run as administrator'.

Use Process Monitor Process Monitor

to diagnose issue with permissions

news:OP$VchZUKHA.4360@newsgroupAre the boxes by any change grey? If so, then the permissions are inherited
and can only be changed by an administrator.

An administrator changes permissions by selecting the "advanced permissions"
box. This brings up a menu of special permissions (which give finer
control) and it also include the box which disables inherited permissions.
Then you revert back to the original permissions page and give your user
level account full control.
As an aside, it is ill advised to use the built in administrator account for
any purpose other than emergency repair. Just create another member of the
administrators group for every day tasks.
It is also strange that the user names do not include NETWORK_SERVICE and
LOCAL_SERVICE. Windows uses these two accounts to start programs which do
not need full permissions.

I have played around with Process Monitor and have never seen that feature explained anywhere.
Thanks.

1.Run Process Monitor
2.Do action where you suspect trouble with permissions (in this thread -run Quick Time)
3.In PM go to filter tab and add filter RESULT is ACCESS DENIED (click ADD and next APPLY bottons)
(images below)

Please also note in practice the only few of alerts which PM report are truly alerts.There is no golden rule to differentiate false and true alerts - you have to check manualy.When you'll eliminate truly alerts,false alerts disappear in PM as well -dominoes effect
