Vista Tip for acces denied message

a lot of people are having a problem accessing their files (acces Denied) to delete, move etc.
 
its easy to correct, rightclick on the file. choose properties, choose security, click edit,highlight your account name, put a tick in the "full Control allow box". click apply. and you have full control.
 
tip 1: if you have a lot of inherented files from xp (like after an upgrade) you can set the permissions in the same way, by opening my computer and right click on a drive and follow the same procedure as above. be aware this is less secure!
 
tip 2:to protect a file you can use the same, but put the tick in the DENY box.
 
POST MORE TIPS.
Dell AAron why not start a TIP section?

Something that I'm seeing a lot is that people can't change the access without changing the ownership of the file first- a problem if you've transferred the file from another computer. Somebody with a Vista box care to post those instructions?
 
Oh, and isn't this entire forum a giant "tips" section?

this forum (vista) is more a HELP and Complain section, where before you can find a TIP you first have to trail a whole bundle of moaning and groaning messages, all beside the complains about dell and Vista. sometimes it seems most people here are giving their own problems as an add on instead a solution.
if i read about aproblem it is ridiculous to have to read another dozen of responses just stating "me too, me too!" while the solutions only come from a handfull.
I assume this forum is to help, not to thrive on agreeing with other people disageements.
 
everyone knows by now that Vista is new, every body is still learning and making mistakes. so stop complaining as a response to a question but give some helpfull advise.
if you want to complain moan groan nag etc start a thread with that name so i can avoid being harassed by repeated same old same old.
