Hi and welcome to seven forums

I suspect the permissions have been changed. Only way I can begin to know is if you fill in your system specs, and tell us 32bit or 64, clean install or upgrade.

edit: sorry system specs are in the lower left corner

In what program are you trying to do this? Check that the files have not been set to read only.

Right click a file, select "Properties" then "Security".. who is in the list? Is your username in the list?

so you upgraded from something to win 7 and it worked but not now. do you have a backup to restore from? these are like mp3, mp4 files played in WMP11. do you know when it started happening? if so you can go into event viewer (type event viewer into search) and look to see what errors relating to this are in there

If you fiind something you can use snipping tool (built into win 7 (type snipping tool in search)) to take a snapshot of it to attach to your reply

first you want the errors with red dots only. All the columns are sortable so you can sort by date (since it started happening) and by category. your looking for the ones relating to wmp. just snip one and upload it

and what are the security settings? it might be that for some reason you are set to not be able to modify the files.

Right click on the file, click properties, click on the security tab.
Make a list of all the entries under "Group or user names"
For each entry:
Click the entry
Look at the bottom section under "Permissions for ..."
Make a note what is ticked for "allow" and what is ticked for "deny"

Post this list to this forums so we can see what it says.


If your username is in the list then click on it.
Check that your username has full permissions to change the file by looking that the bottom section under Permissions for username

If it doesn't - then change the permissions for the folder containing all you music files to give you full access. Google "change folder permissions windows 7" for instructions.
