Folder and File default permissions

Hi Hilton,

When you changed folder permissions, all of its contents will also be affected. If you want to change permission on certain sub-folders, it is recommended to separate it up to one level and change only specific file or folder permissions which are
applicable to you.

To allow opening or modifying files, follow the steps below:

• Right-click a folder or file, then click Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Click Edit…
• Tick Allow or Deny, to manage permissions for your folder.
• Click OK to finish.

Let us know if this resolve your concerns.

 

Windows does not allow changes in file or folder permissions

I am trying to get control of a large number of picture files in a number of folders. I have tried to set permissions, but no matter what I do, the os will

not allow me to set the new permissions or get control of the folders. I can add myself to the list of owners, but then I get the message that even as the administrator I am not allowed control. Is there anyway to get these pictures back so I can see them?
They are jpg files which were put on the computer from my camera sd card. Is there a way to temporarily turn off whatever it is that controls permissions? This is very frustrating. Most of the folders on this drive (an internal hard drive which is partitioned
into a Data and Storage drive) can be viewed and used. It is only this one folder (and its many subfolders) that is having the problem.

Thank you!

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?
