    You don't currently have permission to access this folder


    Hi,

    Im having trouble accessing an external hard drive. It says this when i try to access C:\Users i can view the rest of the hard drive though. When i go to change ownership it goes through the files and gets stuck on one particular file 3/4 times now and wont get past the one folder. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    The easiest solution is this: Add "Take Ownership" to Context Menu of Files, Folders, and Drives
