Toshiba Hard Drive Administrator privilege

Ramseed · Feb 18, 2014

Hi all,

I have a Toshiba Hard disk which is used for the company purposes. So I need to provide the same to other users as well. Every time I connect the hard disk to other computers it is asking for the admin privilege, I mean to enter the admin user name and password. I need to disable this and the hard disk should be opened like a flash drive without any limitations to any of the users in the domain.. I added everyone to the owner list. But still its not working as expected.
I really appreciate your answers..

Thanks..!!!

Take ownership of the Hard Drive goto Properties->security->advanced->owner.... then have your admin account take ownership. After that assign permissions for other users....

The UAC is asking for opening the Unlock.exe file. I need to cancel that one. All the users should be able to open Unlock.exe without UAC prompt.

Just lower UAC settings then if that's the issue. If it's a permission issue on the system you need to either elevate the users on the computers to admin rights or change the rights on the files.

It more sounds like you just setup protection on the drive using the WD utility though, thanks to your second post info.

Either format the drive and remove the WD utility, or use that utility and remove the protection.

Your solution is fine if I just need to connect to one computer. This HDD is used by a department and the employers here connect this HDD in different computer. n more over as an admin, I dnt want to lower the UAC bcoz after that Users can install whatever they want on their PC which is not fair...

I just need to disable the UAC for this particular .exe file. I mean Unlock.exe

Ramseed :

All UAC does is warn someone if something is about to get installed, not block if. If the users have admin rights UAC won't prevent them from installing anything, and if they don't have admin rights they can't install many things anyway.

There may be a procedure to allow on program to bypass the warning but I don't know it. The admin prompt is not coming from UAC, it's either the WD security program that was set, or user rights on Windows.

try this..right click on the unlock.exe>security> click edit >add>type in 'everyone' without quotes then ok...then in the permissions put a check on full control. then ok again.
