File Permission

I am starting to get a message that I don't have permission to delete or
otherwise modify a file. I have been doing this file for many many
times. How can I d=o this?

What kind of file? Where is it located? Right-click on the name in
Windows File Explorer and look at its properties - what are the
attributes?

To change permissions
Open the Properties for the file
In security

You first have to take control of the file.

In the the Advance window change the owner to yourself. Then in the
same window you will have to change who is allowed to use the file.


This will be a little different for Windows 10 but not much.

On my windows 10 computers about 50 files in two folders became
disowned. I had to go through each file as stated above and take
control before I could delete, or do anything with the file.

It is a file that I created in Visual Basic, one that I have created
hundreds of time. The only reference I can find is the letter A. I was
attempting to delete it as part of a program that deletes it and
recreates it. I also cannot open it with any file viewer program (e.g.
FileViewer.

I removed the A attribuyte but this didn't help.

Are you referring to this sort of thing ?

These are Fopen options, rather than permissions
as such. The file system may or may not have
permissions, and FAT32 doesn't have permissions,
while NTFS can be owned by someone. These are "modes".
