I like to download/install files and .exe files to mod games. I'm safe with what and where I download files and from whom I download them. However, *for some files*, whenever I want to delete or move a file, I get a message saying I don't have permission and I need admin permission (even though I AM THE ADMIN). I tried going to properties of the file and tried changing the attributes to "Read-only". Instead of the box actually being ticked, I get a message saying "Access Denied". I try to override it by clicking continue but I get another window saying "Error Applying Attributes". I can click "try again" as many times as I want but it will never progress further.
It's not just this option, when I go to the security tab of a file (It says "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object" , and click "advanced" option, it tells me the same thing, "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object". I've tried changing the owner of the file but I get the same message of " You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings". It wouldn't make sense to make a file that can't be deleted or edited, regardless of who made it or is in possession of it. I've tried using the "take ownership" option, but it still doesn't work since a window saying "access denied".
As you can tell (whoever reads this), I've basically already tried what might be suggested. I don't know if there is a program that's installed that is restricting my admin rights but it is irritatingly annoying. I don't have full control over everything because of an update that installed a program that restricts me (from what info I had found) is annoying, as mentioned above. Again, I seriously doubt the owner/maker of these files would make it so that I can't delete them whenever I want. This issue occurs in both my Windows (C
and Data (D.
So, what else is there that I can do?
