Windows 7 Permissions - Cant copy, rename or delete
I extracted a file from a zip
Tried to move it to a new directory but was told I needed Administrator Permission (I am an administrator)
I tried to rename it but was told I needed Administrators permission
I went into the properties and changed the owner to MyUserName\PCName - this is me!!.Permissions show I have full control - but the ticks are greyed out and cant be changed?) but it made no difference - I still could not copy/delete/rename the file
I turned off UAC but it made no difference - I still could not copy/delete/rename the file
I logged onto the administrators account but it make no difference - I still could not copy/delete/rename the file
I used Lockhunter to see if there was anything locking the file - no. So I told Lockhunter to delete at next reboot and, when I rebooted, I got a message saying it was not able to delete the file
Looking like I have to remove the HDD access it from another PC to delete the file!
Any suggestions as to what is going on here and how I can fix this?
