DVD Architect & Permission

Postby curt y » Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:20 pm

When I use the program with files on an external drive I sometimes run into permission problems writing data. I can solve this by starting the program with a right click and choosing "run as administrator", but don't always remember.

I am running Win7, sole user computer, and have it set for full administrative rights. Does anyone know where in the OS one can set the administrative rights to access external hard drives? Have this same problem with Adobe Bridge.

If you right-click on the program shortcut and go to Properties, Advanced, you should be able to set it to always run as administrator. It's not the best thing in the world to do, but it can be done. When you installed the program were you logged in as the Admin?
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Click the Start menu button again and Type in secpol.msc and hit Enter.
That will get you into the security policy settings, not sure which one would control access to external drives.
I don't have a Windows 7 machine handy right now so you will have to check and see if you can find anything.

Here is another possible solution

Were the folders where you are trying to write the files on the external drive created by you from Windows 7? This sort of problem can occur if the folders (or files) are created on a different computer or from an older version of Windows on the same computer. It can also occur if they were created from a different user account from the one you are using.

I would not change the registry per the link Chuck gave you. That's not likely the problem and can introduce other security exposures. But, he is right on with the security policies. You need to look at your permissions in the security tab of the properties dialog for the folder or file. Once you know why you can't write the file you can choose an appropriate change in the security profile.

Could it be that he just needs to take ownership of the folder(s) Bob?

Yes, it could be. That was my first thought.

Can't remember if that is the same in Windows 7 as XP.
Right click on folder and select Properties / Security / Advanced / Owner
Then make yourself the owner of the folder and also check the box that says replace owner on all sub containers and objects.
Then make sure you have have all properties for the parent folder inherited to subfolders.
