I have a file with description "Подключаемый модуль пересылки событий WS-Management" and name dhcpsapi.exe running in task manager. It seems like a virus to me.Whenever i tried to delete or open its location i am getting access denied in my admin account.Tried to delete it from cmd-Administrator but keep getting the error 'Access Denied'.
I can't see its folder in file explorer or in hidden files but can see it in command prompt (dir /a).
I need to access this folder and delete it. How do i access it from command prompt or from windows explorer.

Resolved. I unchecked hide protected items from folder options. Then gave permission to User but it was still inaccessible and windows defender scanned that folder and identified it as a trojan virus and removed the process from task manager. Then i deleted that folder with a software 'unlocker' from drive and recycle bin.

Earlier i was using one batch file to lock my file/folder in windows. That time i locked my one folder from D Drive. It was working fine for me. But after some windows update i am not able to unlock my folder using this batch file.
I know this batch file is using cacls command to change the attribute of folder. It changes it's attribute as hidden and system folder. I tried cacls command as well from cmd but still it gives me Access Denied error.
Please suggest me any approach to get access to this folder. It will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I accidentally removed all permissions from a directory on a Windows 2008 server. I can see the directory when listing contents of its parent both through Windows Explorer and DOS, but I can't do anything else. No matter what I try, the system essentially acts like I'm trying to work with a directory that doesn't exist. Trying to change the permissions through Windows Explorer yields a message that the security information is not available (on the Security tab). I've also tried takeown and modifying permissions with icacls, both of which report file not found. My account is part of the Administrators group. The account that created the folder (the owner before I messed up the permissions) can't even see the directory when listing contents of its parent. dir /q reports the owner of the directory as "...". Is there anything that can be done here or is this directory lost?
The solution here was to log in using the local administrator account and run takeown /F on the directory in question. From there, I was able to reset the permissions of the directory and all of its contents.
Problem
Attempting to install an application in Windows produces the following message:
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified location exists and is writable.
Solution
When you try to install application, a temp folder will be created, e.g.
Administrator\AppData\Local\{F2234F94-BDEB-4DBD-9ACB-D3AB5C8526C5}
{F2234F94-BDEB-4DBD-9ACB-D3AB5C8526C5}. Go to this directory and double-click the .MSI file and installation will restart and succeed.
This is a super easy solution:
Task Manager to kill explorer.exe, and then start a new instance of it.
Source: https://support.software.dell.com/kb/134431
Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch Task Manager or right-click Desktop Task
Bar and choose Start Task Manager.
Click Processes Tab.
Locate and select the explorer.exe, click End Process.
You may need to select Show Processes from all users.
Click End Process to the prompt.
Your Desktop Icons and Desktop Bar will disappear.
Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch Task Manager again.
Click File -> New Task (Run...).
Type explorer.exe and click Ok.
Your Desktop Task bar and Icons should appear again.
You can encounter this error if TMP and TEMP directories are different. This can result in installer files being written to TMP but when attempting to read those files using the TEMP value you see in the error.
Confirm that both values are referring to the same path. For example, from a command prompt:
set TEMP=%tmp%
and then run the installation again
Otherwise, it looks like an operating system permission issue.
If the procedure with stopping and starting explorer.exe fails, you can try:
In Command Prompt type
echo %temp%
Go to the folder in the output and check whether it is accessible. In case it is a file, remove it.
We're experiencing strange permission issues with SVN after switching from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008.
On our standard build box there is a folder (C:\SVN_Code_Folder) which AD_User_A associates with a SVN repository using SVN_User and TortoiseSVN 1.7.6
When using Windows 2003, when AD_User_B logs into the box and tries to Update, Switch, Merge the SVN_Code_Folder with SVN_User, the command is executed.
It Windows 2008, it fails with the message:
Command: Update
Error: Working copy 'C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\New folder' locked
Error: sqlite: attempt to write a readonly database
Error: sqlite: attempt to write a readonly database
Completed!
Attempting to unlock the file, which was never locked, via the context menu is met with the following message:
There's nothing to unlock. No file has a lock in this working copy.
I've played with the permissions of the folder and I've discovered that giving "Domain Users" control over the folder fixes the issue, but I would prefer to not have such a broad permissions. I've tried granting the same permissions to individual users and a SVN-group, but these too did not work.
What am I missing?
Is this an improper use of SVN?
Can 2 different Domain users update a folder using SVN without removing the .SVN file?
For future reference...
I had this same problem with some WC's that I copied over to my new laptop's hard drive, from a file share on my old machine.
It turned out that the problem was solved by giving myself (as opposed to all domain users, or any other group) full control over the folder.
Did you check the svn service user on the win2008 machine?
Does that user have local administrator privileges and also have permission to these folders on c:?
After changing anything restart the service.
For me change folder permissions did't help, but I have update for several directories in a batch script so I solved this by
cmd -> Run as administrator -> start update script
We are creating an application that updates it's files under Program Files - we've run into some permission errors and were starting to wonder who should be owner of files - the "SYSTEM" user or the one that installed the software? After inspecting the "Program Files" folder we see that some software binaries have the user as owner, some "SYSTEM". We are failing to overwrite some files and the only weird thing seems to be that the owner of our updater binary is the "SYSTEM" user.
Is always better to install apps that needs write permissions in a folder under C: or you can look at ntfs permissions on that folder and add your users.
