Privileges problem after clean re-install
Hi,
Several days ago I did a clean reinstall of mi Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS. I did such an operation several times before, on my PC and on some other computers, and I have never encountered such a problem.
My HDD has two partitions - C, on which the OS is installed, and D where I keep all my programs, photos, etc.
The problem is that after I have reinstalled Windows on the C: partition formatting the drive during the process. Installation went fine, but some folders on t he D: drive are not accessible for me to write/delete in them, and selection of them is quite random e.g. "downloads" or "photos" and also RecycleBin. However I think it may be related to my old network shares - they were shared for my homegroup as far as I remember.
I tried advanced security tab where I wanted to set full control flag on the D:\ for my profile (kuki - administrator level which is actually the same as in my old system) including all subfolders and files (box checked). During that procedure I get the message on folders mentioned before (photos,downloads,recycle bin) - "windows can not read security settings for specified folder".
How can I handle that? I do not like to use my C drive as download and temp folder, so I have a DOWNLOADS folder on D: drive but now I can't use it.. i mean i can make downloads2 etc... but I would like to know the solution if that ever happens again to me.
Any help apprecieted.
Regards,
