Hi there. I'm having a problem with folder and it would be great if you guys could help. Recently I've been using an online render farm for a 3D software, there was a problem with folder related to it and when I tried to delete them nothing happened. I went into proprieties then into security and I changed and removed some groups and usernames and added permissions for the folders. I was then able to delete those shared folders.

Now when I try to add a folder on the desktop there is a "permission" sign on the folder icon and when I click on it, it says I need permission to use it, then when I press continue it says I need permission to perform the action and that sign keeps showing up when I press try again. I can't even move photos onto the desktop. I've attached some photos. How can I fix this? I'm using Windows Vista.

Have you run a virus scan of your computer and is the problem localized to just that folder or all folders on the machine?

I haven't run a virus scan but I have run PC Cleaner. That hasn't worked. I guess the problem is throughout. I can't move anything onto the desktop and it comes up with the same message which is in the last photo I've attached.

I would definitely run a virus scan just to be sure it isn't that then it gets more complicated to solve if it isn't a virus of some sort

Nothing caught so far. I'm pretty sure it's not a virus. Do you have any idea what it can be?

If it isn't a virus, I would guess that it is going to be a major corruption with windows and I am really not sure how you would fix it

It's cool. I'll ask on other forums as well. Thanks.

I talked to windows support and they said to system restore. I tried doing that but when it reboots it says an error occurred and nothing has changed.

I'm running Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium. Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. On a 2006 HP Pavilion dv6000.

Any help would be highly appreciated :)

When you did this "I went into proprieties then into security and I changed and removed some groups and usernames and added permissions for the folders. I was then able to delete those shared folders", exactly what folders did you do this for and exactly what groups did you remove and what permissions did you add?

I don't even freaking remember LOL A computer guy looked at it and it's fine now, thanks for your reply though. I had deleted the permissions and the whole thing went corrupted. I would have had to reinstall windows but he did something and I didn't have to, also just made a new user.
