QuestionSaints preserve me from security Pin
Keith Sheppard23-Mar-10 23:36
Keith Sheppard23-Mar-10 23:36 
Every new operating system out of Microsoft seems more paranoid than the last. I am now battling against Windows 7 security. I have blundered into an unfortunate situation where the entire contents of a folder now seems to be owned by System and no user account has write or delete access. I am trying to delete this folder and start again.

I can delete individual files as follows:
1) Properties, Security, Advanced.
2) Select Owner tab, choose Edit and make myself the owner.
3) Properties, Security, Edit.
4) Set Full Control.
Now I can delete the file.

But there are dozens of files so this is slowly, but surely, driving me mad.

I tried taking ownership of the folder itself and resetting the permissions but then it whinges, for every contained file, "You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this file".

This is MY computer. I'm the only one who uses it. I don't want Windows 7's poxy security perventing me from deleting the files that I own. The one feature I would really like to see in Windows is a big button that says "I am the administrator and I want ALL security features turned off until further notice".

OK, ranting aside. Someone please put me out of my misery. There must be a way to bulk set these permissions and get rid of these files, mustn't there?

Keith
