Open an elevated command prompt .

:ar: Click on the rb: button type in CMD inside Search programs and files . Right click on CMD under Programs (1) and choose Run as administrator . On the User Access Control window click on the Yes button . Command prompt opens to path C:\Windows\System32>_

Type the command below and press <ENTER>

takeown /f C:\Users\FerreriaFamily /r /d y

Then type this command below

icacls C:\Users\FerreriaFamily /grant Administrators:F /T

Edited : changed /grant FerreriaFamily:F /T to /grant Administrators:F /T

when I typed in the first command I get ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified.

 

[VistaKing]

What folders do you see inside C:\Users ?

 

[GilV37]

Ferreria Family
Public

they both don't have locks on them. Just inside Ferreria family has folders with locks.

 

[VistaKing]

Shouldn't be locks on those folders .

Let's try this

takeown /f "C:\Users\Ferreria Family\Downloads" /r /d y

press Enter

Then type

icacls "C:\Users\Ferreria Family\Downloads" /grant Administrators:F /T

 

[GilV37]

after the first command, I get the same error... ERROR: The system cannot find the path specified.
Is there supposed to be a space between the /r & /d & y? that's what I did and still coming up with the same error.

 

[VistaKing]

Yes /r /d y
Space after /r and /d and y

 

[GilV37]

just tried again, and still the same error.

Take a look at the link below . It has a registry hack that will add Take Ownership in the context menu when you right click on a folder or file

:ar: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

Once you have merged the reg file right click on each folder inside C:\Users\Ferreria Family and choose TakeOwnership . A command prompt will pop up with text scrolling down let it finish the command prompt will disappear on its own .

wow!!! this is weird. I just tried that link, and still didn't work. I took ownership of the downloads folder and it still had a lock. I tried to download photo.jpg, and still will not let me download.

Can you upload a scrnshot of the Properties window of Downloads folder

 

[GilV37]

here you go.

 

[VistaKing]

I'm on an iPad . Can't open .docx files

 

[GilV37]

ok what files can you read on your ipad?

 

[VistaKing]

Save the image to a pic image like jpg .

Use tinypic.com to upload the picture

 

[GilV37]

ok I got stuck, but I figured it out. Here are two files that I hope you can open.

 

[VistaKing]

It says you have full control of the Downloads folder . If you click on the Advanced button on the bottom of the Downloads Properties window . Inside the Advanced window click on Owner tab what does it say as whose the Current Owner ?
