issues with permissions of folders

I know Fences, haven't used it but always thought it looked great! Hope it's not that!

You only need one thing to fix this. Have done this too many times to count. Get WinRAR.

Right click the folder/file and choose Add to Archive. On the dialog, check "Delete files after archiving". Then after it finishes, delete the archive. Done. Your welcome!

OP: You tried just booting to a command prompt and deleting from the command line - C:\> rd /S NameOfFolder from memory? Or boot from a Win PE or even Linux and go from there. Just thoughts.

I have tried in command line and git bash

When I have issues deleting a folder I fire up my parted magic usb and delete it. Or my Win PE.

I think people are starting to assume I was only having this issue with one folder.... It was with every folder.... Firing up Linux or some bootable repair every time I want to delete or edit a folder is absolutely ridiculous

Could UAC be a problem?

Either way Take Ownership is built into Windows 10 contrary to what folks are saying.

I found it without registry hacking:



What if you check the "Effective Access" for your user account and paste your results here?

You never mentiond that it was every folder.

unfortunately i believe it was entirely fences' fault... im testing all the things i had issues with before today and nothing is telling me i cant do it... i am planning on writing to stardock in a few days and letting them know the issue (just wanna make sure that was all that was wrong).... my desktop looks like hell without fences, but if i have to choose between a working pc and a pretty pc i would have to choose the working one

Does Fences have a support forum or similar? If it does that, then you're not going to be the first person to have had problems like this...maybe there's a workaround?

Edit: Hang on: You booted into a command prompt and it still wouldn't work? Surely Fences is not running at that point?
