Hiya guys, everytime I use a FLAC file, I noticed on the delete, and rename in right click context menu, there is a UAC shield next to the text, initially thought nothing of it, but now I just go to delete the FLAC files, and it's refusing to let me, says I need Administration Permission, thing is...I am the admin!!

Same issue when I select rename, or drag to another folder. Is there anyways to stop Windows from locking these files? It's literally only FLAC files it does it with!

Hi there

Were these files on external device(s) created / accessed on another computer - possibly by a different user id.

If so you'll get a message -- shouldn't worry about it though.

Hi there
Ah ! downloaded -- OK have a look at the HDD top level directory -- in Windows explorer choose properties==>security and then set to full access.

Should work.

In windows explorer, I only see:

Device Manager
Remote Settings
System Protection (Is this it?)
Advanced Sys Settings

EDIT-

Found it, I selected full access but it threw out a few errors to the following:

bootnxt
recycle bin
btmgr
hyberfil
msocache
pagfile
perflogs
programme files 86

Is this normal?

The full access checkmarked seems to have stuck like its worked, but these errors are now worrying me: The specific error for each of the above was:

Failed To Enumerate Objects In The Container. Access Denied.

Hi there

Just RIGHT mouse click on the HDD ==>properties ==>security

Screenshot shown for example (Unless you have Acronis you won't see the Acronis tab but the rest are the same).

Then on security ==>EDIT to alter the permissions.
