Steve Krause Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 What do you mean by unlock? What are you trying to do and what error message(s) if any are you getting? Quote
Austin Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 If you are encountering an error that is preventing from accessing certain files in Windows 7, you can try taking ownership of them. Follow this simple how-to located here: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/microso ... s-folders/ Quote
Guest nancy Posted April 26, 2010 Report Posted April 26, 2010 By locked, i'm refering to the lock symbol @ the file name. i've tried changing all the people who can have access to the files w/o change. Quote
Guest kx3 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Wish I could help.... sorry I've never seen the locked symbol at a file name on windows 7...??? What is it you cannot do? Can you not open the files or copy them or?? Where are you seeing this? Is it in another user profile? Quote
Guest nancy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 I just used the "take ownership" download & it worked perfectly! My files are no longer locked:) Quote
