When I try to access C:\Users\All Users\Desktop
, it gives me "Access is denied", even though I'm using an administrator account.
So what I did was I right click the folder >> Properties >> Security.
I clicked the "Edit" button:
I clicked "Add...":
I typed in DIT-NB0952772\common
(which is me). I clicked "OK":
I clicked "OK":
There's an error, and I clicked "Cancel":
The same screen appeared again, same error message. I clicked "Cancel" again:
Which gives me this:
It tells me to "apply the correct change immediately to achieve a consistent state",
But how do I fix this error ?
What's the correct change I should be applying to correct the errors above, and to achieve a consistent state ?
sry I'm not understanding you. I know that I need change the permissions, but currently the problem is that I do not have permission to change the permissions, even though I'm using an admin account: http://screenshoot.me/nE5yM8

how do I take ownership of the file? I mean isn't checking the "Full Control" taking ownership of the file? http://screenshoot.me/nE5yM8
– Pacerier – 2011-10-15T21:45:43.220@Pacerier: Nope. That just tries to give you Full Control. Maybe I need to retype my answer more than once. . . – surfasb – 2011-10-16T12:17:41.540
I mean your answers tells me to take ownership of the file.. but how do I take ownership of the file? – Pacerier – 2011-10-16T14:17:26.240
Besides, you are looking at the wrong spot.
C:\Users\All Users\Desktop
isn't a folder. It's a link toC:\Users\Public\Desktop
– surfasb – 2011-10-16T20:02:27.590Ok I'm not sure I'm understanding you.. I mean I can't edit myself to have "Full Control" for the
C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop\
folder as well, using the steps listed in the question above (right click >> Properties >> Security Tab >> Edit Button >> AddDIT-NB0952772\common
>> Tick All >> Ok >> Access is Denied) – Pacerier – 2011-10-18T03:02:37.217Do Properties, Security tab, Advanced button, Owner tab, Take Ownership button. – surfasb – 2011-10-18T03:11:33.063
