You need to start asking yourselves whoвЂ™s computer is it ! This continues despite the fact that NTFS has been reinvested several times over the years and at any point a better scheme (where APIвЂ™s under the hood only access inodes) could have been implemented.

, which does not exist in *nix because they use inodes under the hood (a hex pointer to a spot on the HDD), whereas WIN (the lobotomized OS) вЂ“ ages after the introduction of the inode, *still* uses the actual full concatenated file path for even the simplest operations. вЂњThough shalt always check the array bounds of strings for surely where thou has typed вЂfooвЂ™ another shall type вЂSupercalifragilisticexpialidociousвЂ™ WAY back when I was learing C there was a вЂњ10 commandments of programmingвЂќ making the rounds through DARPANET which essentially said: Then again the totally unnecessary limtiation on max path name len (with errors of file path is to long to copy) during simple file operations (copy, delete) is a VERY stupid hold over from WIN95!!! Some errors can result which are so bad that it requires a HDD reformat to remove them вЂ¦ all due to the length of a pathname (and the fact that many portions of the API donвЂ™t bother to CHECK the size of the string being sent to it before using it). Here we are WIN8 all over, and the next one about to be released, and this problem has not been touched.

WORSE вЂ“ oif the point was an archive you can RESTORE from, youвЂ™re stuffed because you went and changed the permissions which makes it easier for virus software to do its job. The stupid OS wonвЂ™t give you access to the files, and you have so spend a LOT of time granting accesses just to archive something.

Now you CANвЂ™T just make a zip of a drive.

Older versions of WIN knew nothing about the premissions on these sorts of drives so it was easy to just make a zip of the entire drive (to avoid long file name conflicts). All I want to do is make zips of some old laptop drives. Note that when you will check the Full Control checkbox, all others will be automatically checked too. Here select your username(account) and check the Full Control checkbox. Now go to Security tab, and hit the Edit button. To give complete permission to yourself, right-click the file or folder and select Properties. If you are an administrator and cannot access a folder, this is due to permission error. Then in the new dialog window choose the new owner and then click OK. Next, you need to go to Owner tab and hit the Edit button. Now click the Advanced button(shown in the screenshot below). To change ownership, right-click any file or folder, select Properties, and go to Security tab.

Changing OwnershipДЇirst, lets talk about ownership. But in some cases only the owner can assign the permission for various users, we will also cover how you can change the ownership. By giving all permission to your account, you will be able to get complete control of a folder. Remember that we are taking about two different things вЂ“ Permission and Ownership. This can be done by going to Properties and then navigating to Security tab. The way to fix this error is to give yourself permission to access the file or folder. To enhance security Microsoft has even denied Administrators access to some folders. There are some files and folders that are meant only for Administrators to access, if you are not an administrator then you cannot access it and will instead get Access Denied error. This error is quite common and occurs due to permission issues.
