File Permission Problems. Windows 7 has Pwnershipped me.
I don't mean to "bump" an old thread so I'm going to post a new topic. I have been all over the internet, and searched FAR AND WIDE, even tried rewording things many different ways, but nothing is helping and so now I'm here. My username should just about explain to you what mental state I am in right now. I have been CRYING actual tears. This is not in jest, I'm a girl.
I'm not a computer whiz. I just need to know how I can gain permission to delete a file on my computer. I am running Windows 7. I used to have XP before that. BUT this file was not on XP it's been added since the switch. "Replace owner on sub containers and objects" This checkbox is NOT available for me. Is there a patient person that can go through everything with me step by step WITH A KINDERGARTEN VOCABULARY or something because I have tried everything and there must be something I am just not getting..
Should I reformat my hard drive? just to delete 1 file?
Sorry I'm just very irritable after 6 hours of CRAWLING around the internet for a solution. And now I'm starting to wonder if I'm bipolar...
Where are the settings to change how like "on a scale of 1-10 HOW PSYCHOTIC do I want my computer to be about file permissions?" so I can set it to 1......
EDIT: I am also trying to quit smoking and this makes want to hook a vat of nicotine up to me via an IV drip.
