locked minidump folder

[webbchr]

I've been experienceing crashes with my computer for a while and have been ziping my minidump files and putting them on a fourm but now the minidump file has a lock icon on it. It also wont let me zip the dump files anymore. I tried changing the permissions of the users but when ever i change anything from alow or deny it says access denied.

thanks for your help in advance.

GO into the folder, look for the dump you need, select copy then copy it into the desktop, and click continue

 

[webbchr]

Thats works. Thanks for the help.

 

[freaky88]

yeah i have no idea why the folder is locked by default

 

[webbchr]

it wasn't originally locked. Why do you think it would have changed?

 

[freaky88]

maybe it locks once you have your first bsod?

 

[webbchr]

Nope. I had about 40 before it locked. It might have been after i reformatted and partitioned my hard drive

Have you tried taking ownership of the folder?

 

[webbchr]

I tried a little bit but I dont think I'm exactly sure how to do that.
