EDIT: How to grant Administrator permission for MANY files and folders?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Boggin:
You still haven't said what you are trying to do.

Angelika:
Boggin - Information window: "You'll need to provide administrator permission to delete this folder of files". (Non-System Data)

UAC does not matter. Since I have a second drive, that's fine, and UAC does not affect deletion.
I have bad settings in:
Security -> Group or User Names or Advanced -> Permission or Inspection Or Owner or Active Privileges.


My account:

Boggin:
Is the file in use - try the deletion in Safe Mode.

Angelika:
You still suggest me a bad solution.
No, because they are user files such as graphics, music.
It is not required Safe Mode!
This should work in Normal Mode! For a thousand or a million files.
I want in Normal Mode to have a preview of each folder and file and modify, delete or move it. Work with every file every day.
There are solutions on the internet, but I do not understand them. I need a step-by-step.
Inherited Permissions (All Folders etc.)

Boggin:
It is not necessarily a bad solution because you can't delete a file that is in use and the workaround is to try the deletion in Safe Mode.

Have you tried that yet ?

EDIT - The link I've provided is a step by step in how to take ownership of a folder/file.
