Cannot open/copy files I have 'Full Control': "you need permissions"
I cannot open/copy files within a folder containing web files. Basically the files that make up my website in a PHP-based CMS, a bit like Wordpress.
All the files appear to be created by someone else, but I bought licencing rights (i.e. they are website 'theme' files).
All the files were fully editable/working on my last Windows installation. This issue is affecting my new Windows install.
The files are a mix of PHP, images, JavaScript files etc.
Let's take an example PHP file:
General info
- File name is in green
- I can't open the file in my default text editor "Can't open file xxxxx"
- I can rename it
- Folder path + file name is well under 100 characters
- I cannot copy the file to any new locations: File Access Denied - You need permission to perform this action
Security tab
- When I first open Security, it has a ? and a long string of letters and numbers listed, but that list disappears after a second or two
- All Groups/users have Full control but none have Special permissions
- Groups/users listed: Everyone, SYSTEM, <my current user>, HomeUsers, Administrators, Users
- If I look at permissions for each group, they all list Full control and have inherited values.
I have tried using a little program called "Unlocker" but that didn't help.
I have looked at lots of other threads. Most talk about deleting files which is not what I am after. Some talk about the file being actively open by something else but I'm 99% sure that's not the case, given the type of files they are. I haven't been able to do anything with these files since this install of Windows.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
