Hi everyone, I am experiencing a very annoying problem with Windows 7 files and folders permission. My computer hard drive consists of 2 partitions: partition C for OS installation (which was previously Vista and now Windows 7) and partition D for my data. After installing Windows 7, I couldn't access partition D any more. I then add a permission for me with the full control option. After that, I could see the contents of the partition. But I couldnt do anything such as renaming or deleting any file and folder easily. If I wanted to do something, I had to right-clicked it and do the same thing as I had done earlier with the partition. And this was really annoying. I couldn't even play a music file without doing so. Is there any way to solve my problem? Any answer would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, with the help from a good friend I have solved the problem. I post the solution here for people who are also getting trouble with it. For example, I can't access the data partition D. solution: - download and run the "Take Ownership" program (it is a registry file). You can use google to find it. - invoke the cmd command line, run it under the administrator right. - type in: takeown /f D:\ icacls D:\*.* /grant uid:F (uid is the username to which we want to grant the permission). Now you should regain the full control permission over your own files and folders.
