While I was saving a files downloaded from internet, I got this error message "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file" in Windows 7. When I was copying some files from my external HD, "you'll need to provide administrator permission to move to this folder" appeared. And I deleted an AVI file created with CamStudio, computer says "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this file" with the choices "Continue", "Skip", and "Cancel". After I choose "Continue", the Windows 7 system OS gives me others following message :
"File Access Denied"
"You need permission to perform this action"
"You require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this file"
Can anyone help me to solve these?
Try it:
Right click on the folder you want to delete or copy to ( or the drive in "my computer")--> Under the security tab choose "edit" --> Go to the "Users (***/users) where the * are the name of your login --> Tick the box which says "full control".

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, i used it solve my problem with Eudora 7.1. which needed msvcp50.dll in the sysWOW64 folder which in turn needed administrator permission thank you very much
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. Funny how security tightened from Vista to Win 7; annoying and confusing (the Windows dialog said Continue) but I guess it's for the best. For those who say it didn't work, have you literally found your user name, added it to the admin group then gave it full permissions? This has to be done from the Properties of the folder you can't access.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get rid of the User Account Administrator settings logo off of the Horse Star game and have administration approval so that I can start playing the downloaded game. But this is the error message I get everytime I try to change the settings for the HS game to "Run as administrator". The error message says: "You will need to provide administrator permission to change these settings." I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Pavillion 64 and 32-bit computer. Please tell me how to fic this problem.

ReplyDeleteTurn off your Anti Virus and you should be able to move the file.
ReplyDeleteit still wont work tried everything everybody has said but nothing will work
ReplyDeleteI was copying files from my old Win XP machine to my new Win 7 machine over a network. Some files copied, some were "not permitted"
ReplyDeleteMY SOLUTION: On the source computer, in Windows Explorer, go "Tools > Folder Options > View" scroll all the way down the list and UNCHECK "simple file sharing". Then highlight the problem file(s), choose "Properties > Security > Add...", type in "Everyone" and click OK, make sure "Full Control" is set just below, then hit Apply.
You can now copy the file(s) and edit it on the new computer.
Note: this is for home use only. In a secure environment, you have to add the actual user of the destination machine.
Oh SweetWellness... that was the only solution that worked for me. This has been driving me crazy for a long time! I was just trying to rearrange folders in my start menu.
