Login as Admin or... Right Click a Folder in question Properites Security Click Advanced Make a screenshot if you don't know what to do or do what you need to do if you know what you do
After "Système", "Michel G" and "Administrateurs", you can add your own account with read/write abilities ("Contrôle total" will obviously work, but some privileges are not needed for simple files transferts and modifications). You can also add "Utilisateurs", which means ALL simple Windows users can read/write/modify/delete files and folders, without the need to be administrator, but do it only if security is not a problem. You can edit authorizations subfolder by subfolder or for all the partition. Here is an exemple of authorizations that could be necessary to transfer files and read them: Autorisations de base : NOT Contrôle total YES Modification YES Lecture et exécution YES Affichage du contenu du dossier YES Lecture YES Écriture Autorisations avancées : Everything but NOT "Contrôle total", "Modifier les autorisations" and "Appropriation". In that case, appropriations and authorization modifications will ask for administrator privileges, but not the rest of operations. It could prevent unwanted reappropriations.
