You cant make changes to this file because you do not own it.

You need to either take ownership of the folder or you can add your user to the permissions and give accordignly.

 

OR you can use something like Grantperm which will do it for you.

I wanna change permission on folders

so i tried that i rigth click folder -- pick "show more options" -- i choose attributes - safety- advanced. Then i go about changing permissions and i suppose this is me

"Brugere Desktop-vomm 3 user.

Now i wanna do this so i can make my changes in my autoexec but when i go ahead and click make changes i get a whole window with nothing but grey options.

At this stage my signature is very real.

how do grantperm work.

im on windows 11 with a danish setup i try to translate the menus and stuff. Thnak you for helping

Grantperm is easy, Download the right version for your system (32 or 64bit) run as admin, put the file or folder path into the white box then click unlock....done

 

Example

 

I want access to c:\games folder so put that path into grantperm

 

 

 

Click unlock

 

I now have full access to c:\games and its contents including subfolders etc

 

Done.

OK try

 

1 Rt click the file you want to edit.

2 Go to properties

3 Security tab

4 Advanced

5 Add

6 Select principal

7 Advanced

8 Find Now

9 Select your user from the list 

10 OK

11 Then select full control from the list

12 OK

13 Apply

14 OK

 

 

That work?

 

If not do the same again but this time but this time at step 11 don't select full control and instead select advanced permissions on the right

Then select full control and you will also see that ownership should also change.

[Bynke]

Yes it worked

The ownership is now mine.

i tried it on other files just to be sure.

Thank you.

Glad its sorted

 

For ref if you ever need permissions for more than 1 file of a specific folder it can be easier in the long run to just do the above for the actual folder as it will then also change permissions for the folder and all files contained within, including sub folders and their contents.
