Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

• Are you trying to give permission to particular files and folders?

I suggest you to follow the below step and check if it helps.

1. Once you choose the file that you want to give permission, right click on it.
2. Click on properties and go to security tab, check whether any permission have been set.
3. After you have viewed the permissions that are already set, you can now click on the Advanced Button that is right below the 'Permissions for Authenticated Users'
4. Once you have clicked Advanced, a box like this should appear, the 'Permission Entries' box, which shows all the permissions that are set for the users. Now, after you have spotted the user whose permissions you wish to change, click 'Change Permissions.
5. Click on the user you would like to edit, and then click the option that says 'Change Permissions' which is right below the box.
6. Once that is clicked, you are going to get the same box pop up, but this time, you can actually edit the options. You do that by clicking the 'Administrators' user again, and this time, you are going to click the 'Edit' option.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

UPDATEWhile I was able to use the method described in accepted answer once it failed a second time or was just giving too much trouble.

How To Remove File Permissions In Windows 10

Searching further I found SetACL by Helge Klein which is far far superior and does exactly what is needed.

Select 'Realtek HD Audio Driver' and right click, then select Uninstall/Change. Click 'Start'. Under Programs click the Uninstall a Program link. Sound driver for windows 7 free download 32 bit. Click 'Yes' to confirm the uninstallation.How do I uninstall Realtek HD Audio Driver in Windows XP?.

I cannot access certain folders e.g. c:Program FilesWindowsApps. Via command line I get an error of 'Access is denied' and via Windows Explorer I get a pop up a dialog box stating 'You don't currently have permission to access this folder'

Clicking on Continue gives me access, but I would like to grant myself access using the command line; so that my scripts do not run into this problem running under the same security context.

I found this question on Microsoft Technet but I couldn't get it to work. Note that I am already running Powershell as administrator.

If it matters, I am using Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 8.1.

You don't currently have permission to access this folder

Try ICACLS and/or TAKEOWN with the below syntax against the folder with the username as needed.

Try just the ICACLS commands first and if that doesn't resolve, run the TAKEOWN commands and then run the ICACLS commands again.

ICACLS Commands

• ^{Grant explicit full control access to this folder to all beneath subfolders, and files leaving all inherited permissions in place and continue on error}

• ^{Grant explicit modify access to this folder to all beneath subfolders, and files leaving all inherited permissions in place and continue on error}

• ^{Change the owner of this folder and all beneath subfolders and files and continue on error}

TAKEOWN Commands

• ^{Run this as the account which you want to grant ownership to, and it'll be changed to the owner of the folder and all beneath subfolders and files}
