Permission denied to copy my own files

[niceday]

Hi there,

I know there have been a lot of tutorial/tips on how to deal with permission when you need to copy files on Windows 7. I have turned off UAC, take the ownership of the folder and all sub-folders/files ... but still I have not been able to copy quite a few files in one of my folder.

Windows 7 (Ultimate/64bit) pop up a warning box saying that I need a permission from myself to be able to copy those files. If I click Yes, it still won't happen.

Is there any fix to this? Thank you.

Access control and ownership are not the same thing as permissions.

Some files may be locked. Use this;

What files and folders are you having this problem with?

Thanks for your replies.

I have take the ownership of the files and gave myself permission. But I still can't copy the file ... in fact I don't have read permission on the files.

I tried lockhunter and it didn't help.

The files are image files ... free icons that I downloaded from the Internet sometime ago.

You may want to try enabling the Built-in Administrator Account and copying the files. This should then make minor changes to the file permissions, allowing for future copying.
