What should I do if I can not access the downloaded file?

At the moment, torrent clients are almost a must for the browser. To download small files the latter somehow learned, but when it comes to a file weighing a couple of gigabytes, there is already no way to do without a torrent. And everything would be fine if the developers of one of the most common operating systems - Windows Vista and Seven - did not manage with access rights. Now you can easily see the harmful window with the inscription "Denied access" after downloading a huge archive. Suffer, as usual, ordinary users. Just for those who do not know what to do with this article is written.

If the solution to this problem on your computer everything is clear, then what to do with the file that you sent a friend? After all, the system by default stores along with the files and access rights. We will proceed from the fact that it is not an option to transfer files (for example, the problem was not detected immediately, and the original file was deleted), so we will understand the documents that have been downloaded.

First, move the downloaded file to another folder, or copy it there. Usually, after this procedure, the files begin to be recognized as your own, regardless of whether you created them yourself or downloaded via the torrent client. Refused access this time? Go ahead.

If the desired file is an application, then try to run it as an administrator. The probability of a successful start, of course, is not great, but just in case it is worth checking - will help, and you do not need to climb into the jungle of settings? If this time you will be denied access, restart, but with the antivirus disabled (you can leave the firewall turned on).

The last hope of the user is to change the access rights to files manually. Do this as follows: right-click on the desired file and select "Properties". Then go to the "Security" tab - there click "Advanced". In the window that opens, locate your account and give it full access rights to the file. After that, apply the new settings and close the window. The window "Access denied" should not be there after that, because you will become the owner of this file. This method is quite long and requires a lot of unnecessary movements, but sometimes the system simply leaves no choice.

Tell your friend to check carefully the files that will be sent to you through the torrent. Denied access to you can only be because the sender forgot to uncheck the folder menu - "Save access rights". Yes, and do not forget to check this item to not double-forward the file. Trifle, but so much headache, if you forget about it.

Dealing with internal problems, when you are denied access to the files you created yourself, is much easier. In most cases, it will be enough to log in with administrator rights. Since there is only one account on most home computers, all conflicts with access rights remain unnoticed, and when a problem arises, the user does not know what to do in a trivial way, because everything was solved automatically before. But it is necessary to apply the methods described above, how the problem will stop giving you trouble.
