    Windows cannot access the device, path or file...


    Hello,

    I'm trying to move a file to another folder on local hard drive but I keep getting this error "windows cannot access the device, path or file. You need correct permissions...."

    I have tried everything:

    - disabled the antivirus and firewall
    - disconnected from the internet
    - downloaded "Unlocker Assistant"
    - Downloaded "Take Ownership"
    - Edited the permissions correctly

    and I'm still getting that error. I cannot even double click the file.

    I'm running Windows 7 - 32-Bit operating system

    Please help.

    One other question: Which file are you trying to copy, and in which folder is it located?
