Hope this video helps you understand about file and folder permissions. Drop us a LIKE 👍
@Britec09 Having just done a completely fresh install of Windows 10 21H2, I was having a lot of trouble with Windows permissions on my system partition (the "C:" drive), and, after a lot of faffing around, I eventually discovered that, (as an administrator), I could run *compmgmt.msc* and make myself a member of the *"Device Owners"* Group, which gave me full control of all folders on the drive. Once I had managed to do that successfully, I was able to create a special folder in the root of the drive, where I could save certain special types of downloaded files, (files that had been restored from a Macrium Reflect Full Backup Image), and completely edit out the old user permissions from my previous Windows installation. I'm the only user of my desktop PC, and I see no need to keep old user profiles around that are interfering with my access to the C: drive, (plus I have a very large storage volume, [roughly 10TB], spanned across 3 HDDs, which I needed to import to my current installation), and this was the only way I was finally able to do the import.
I have just one question: Would you be able to do another video which explains some more about the *"Advanced"* permission settings? I would particularly like to understand more about the *"Auditing"* tab in the *"Advanced"* permission settings.
Thank you so much for all the information you have explained very clearly in this video! 🙏🏻
I see what I can do
@@Britec09 Many thanks! 👍🏻 🙏🏻
at timestamp 3:02 when you're adding yourself as principal, there's a greyed out option called "special permissions"
why can't you tick that on since you're the owner of the device?
there is any way to give administrators group permission to my entire pc including windows WITHOUT CHANGING the TrustedInstaller or any areadly ownership??? trought cmd
It amazes me the amount of information that you fit into a video that is less than 12 minutes. NTFS permissions can get pretty complex and you did an excellent job of explaining the basics.
Thanks Brian, this is so Clear and easy to understand!!
The popularity of this video isn't by accident. First, good audio quality and clean vocal. 2nd, you knew your stuff or planned it out, & 3. You had it perfectly timed and edited to 11:11 ❤. I needed this video to prevent the people in my house from breaching in my pc/phone through all sorts of methods. I've tried a lot, but there's too many settings I can't change them all before they stalk and breach in.
Thanks Brian, truly awesome, I've always struggled getting to grips with permissions and your video has explained the process with ease, cheers mate, keep up with your sterling work, I have learnt so much from your channel over the years and always appreciate video content and look forward to learning even more. If you get chance, could you possibly show how we can have network connection in safe mode because in Windows 10 we could but for some Microsoft reason we can't in Windows 11?
Thank you sir for the in-depth explanation, very much appreciated. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
thanks brian always good info
What great video. Thank you
Thanks Brian.
Sally sure gets around, she's on my pc too. I'd caution against giving her full admin permissions.
lol
It helps greatly, Brian. Thank you verry much.
Happy to help!
thank you so much OMG now i can use all my file and video play!
Got to be honest great channel always liked it been going quite a long time wanted to know are you actually a qualified engineer or just somebody that’s got the experience over the years
I have these access problems when I install on my PC hard disks from other customers. thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for a great video. I have 3 computers, two with Windows 10 home, and one with Windows 11 home. I can't access one of the W10 computers from the W11. I"ll see about following your clearly stated steps. I don't know what differences there are between the settings in both W10 computers to cause one to have access from W11 and not the other. I can access from the W 11 from both, I think, W10 computers. Any ideas on why I might night be able to access the one W10 from the W11 computer?
Can you make a videos on win 11 user profile issues and how to fix them. Thx for your gr8 work
hi britec tell me this is now on one machine right? now how do I give certain users access to certain folders over the same network from their computers as I do not like the everyone object plus I don't like to utilize another pc to install freenas....so if I have 3 users on the same network how do I make sure they have access to their own folders and not trying to fish what's not meant for their eyes....if you can help with that or have a link that'll help?
Thank you so much
hello thank you so much of it, what is the Héritage Lock or unlock ?
Great explanation, thanks. May I ask what ‘Deny’ is? Isn’t it the same as unchecking ‘Allow’?
hi brian i have many users in the user permissions list whats the defrance between them and how to delete unwanted users
If we configured modify permission on sub folder and write permission on parent folder then what is a resultant permission applied on sub folder ? (inheritance is enabled)
Thank you.
Great video. Two questions.
(1) What's the difference between leaving a permission blank vs "Deny"?
(2) Does providing admin password to perform one operation e.g. write or execute in a folder, compromise the entire system or will an app requesting access be able to perform only that operation? Example, I have a malicious app that runs under UserX account. App wants to access folder Y, but UserX cannot access folder Y nor can it access folder Z. So I type in admin password when prompted to allow access to folderY for UserX. Will the malicious app be able to do malicious things only in folder Y or will it also be able to access folder Z?
Deny has priority over allow, meaning a user wich is in at least 1 group/user with 1 denied permition, he's not allowed to do that thing. For example, if u deny userX from reading the file, but userX is an admin, and admins have full controll, userX will still not be able to read it
Thank you
Britec you are the best tech youtuber of ever
I like to know can we share the folder with a specific user outside your pc with a different user in your local network
thank you
Thanks
Thank You So Much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
@@Britec09 I am Able to change Windows Folder Permission on Every Folder in C Drive, Where My Win10 is Installed, the Only folder I can't make a change, is Windows Defender Folder. What to do ? Should i do things by booting windows in safe mode ?
@@Britec09 Too bad you don't reply to people who are asking for help.
Hi Master, what happend with your video "How to install Windows 11 on unsupported computers" ??
I have a folder on my secondary hard drive. It says I can’t remove it I need permission. How I can I make it so I can delete it? it’s my folder,
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
@@Britec09 Too bad you don't reply to people who are asking for help.

Glad you think so!

i got infected with the ransomware bpqd recently, any solution how to recover my files ??
@Brite09 - I am studying for the A+ exam and just watched another video on the same topic but, his information is contrary when it comes to Inheritance. He said that the remove all option can mess with the Windows OS System Files/Folders and he thinks that this option should not exist. I was wondering if you have any more specific information as to why you would use remove all vs. convert?
Inheritance removal CAN mess the OS, but only if u do it in critical folders/files (source: I did it)
Removing inheritance with the delete all inherited permitions option clears all permitions. That's why it's dangerous. Removing all accounts access to a critical folder could end ur system (source again: I did exacly Dat)
To me it happens with every folder i wanna open. And when i wanted to enter device manager i recieved message on screen that Admin blocked me, even im admin .
Can we do this for network sharing also?
Networking sharing will be setup differently, but its good to understand permissions.
Hi, how to give permission based on security identifier (SID)?, thank you so much
U can use an admin cmd window and use icacls command
Have a question, in the event veiwer I hven issue saying to the user me. running the lapc I can fix it but don't know how

@@Britec09 Too bad you don't reply to people who are asking for help.
What I struggle with is gaining full control of a folder where I've been denied access even though I'm the admin and I actually created the folder.
maybe you have to take the ownership?
Thanks britec, im from indonesia. This information thanks
Our pleasure!
@@Britec09 Too bad you don't reply to people who are asking for help.
I see youtube pulled your latest video on installing win11
how to disable outlook security certificate?
does giving full acces change the administrator of the folder???
The folder has an owner, but technically the owner doesn't matter at all, wat matters are the permitions.
Full access just means u can do watever. The administrator normally has full access Cuz, well, it's the administrator
What are "special permissions" and how do I get them?
What about the other 14000 files I have and have permissions issues .
Hello sir, I want 2 log in, one for my staff purpose and one for my personal use. The requirement is my staff should not see my personal data thru their log in, so I can secure my data under my log in.

Hi I just don't get it my computer refuses me to copy the folder to my hard drive... I want. to empty it because I have the zero bytes issues. I want to remove everything from my computer and clean it up from start, please help me
I think a file shows 0 bytes of size when u lack permitions to read it. U should be able to give urself full access and remove it/copy it

Thanks bro it helped alot specially when window is ass
what is special permission ?
Special permitions. Can be accessed with the advanced menu in security tab
i have like 1k folders like this how can i do this now :") help me
The most annoying thing is that by default a non admin user has full access to all hard drives on the system. Really stupid imo. I shouldnt have to stuff around with permissions on the aditional drives unless I want to GIVE access. Default should be denied access so I can just create users and not worry about them poking through all the back up drives without spening hours applying permissiont to terabytes of files.
I just found this out myself 😤
We don't want Sally to steal all your pounds in the bank LOL I call that giving users "global" permission since it's across accounts within the Windows platform
A single home user does NOT need this crap. I found this on the MS website... which IS exactly how I feel..Is there ANY way to turn OFF this permissions thingy?!?!
I am soooooooooooooooo tired of MY machine giving me "Access denied" or "You need permissions from " errors!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And NO--I'm NOT going waste MORE time, monkeying around with user account, etc.!!!! Been there....done that! And STILL doesn't work!!!!)
Why do I need permissions to do ANYTHING--on MY machine?!?!?!?!?! If I'm willing and determined to (accidentally) delete an important system file on MY machine--why should windows get in my way?!?!?!
Hackers don't seem to have much difficulty placing hidden files on our machines--so, why shouldn't WE be able to move, copy or delete files from our OWN machines?!?
Since this permission thing, is obviously flawed--is there some way to turn off all of this permissions stuff, so that I can determine what files are to be moved, copied and/or deleted (on MY machine?)
Britec, any idea why I still don't have permission, even after following your guide bit by bit? This is the kind of crap that makes me so frustrated with Windows. FOR GOD'S SAKE, I PAID FOR IT - I OWN IT, LET ME MANAGE MY PROGRAMS!
Maintaining permissions by directly adding users is tedious and untenable, do yourself a favor and do not do this in a production environment.
Removing every permition from the system is also not wise. Admin can access the file but system or trustedinstaller can't do anything
