Protect Single File - Error "You Don't Currently Have Permission To Access This Folder"
Dec 24, 2009
I'm trying to protect a folder and the files inside it. I'm able to protect the folder itself, so that if somebody clicks on it he will get a message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder!"
Is it possible to password protect a folder and access it programatically .I.e if i password protect a folder eg C: emp .Files should not be listed by any sort of means like typing the path in run mode c: emp should not be listed only after applying password it should get listed.
i need to access to a special folder and operate there, but i don't have permission to do this, how i can set permission to access to special folder and delete/create files?
I have a list of users with me and I need to find out programmatically which of the users present in the list have read/write permissions on a particular folder/file.
how you can allow vb.net to access a file/folder within a domain group and retrieves it permission setting to determine if the user have access or denied access to a certain folder?
I have an issue with the Windows permission system. And every time it tries to do something that needs a windows permission (to be ran as administrator) it fails !
At the moment I was trying to implement an updater which should download a file from an ftp site but because copying a file into one of the program files folder requires a permission I am not able to do this.
I am using the .getdirectory to scan my whole c drive for certain files to be backup. e.g *.doc. however when i run the code, i hit into error. stating folder access error. one of the folder which cause the error is system information volume.
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
Is there a way to set admin permission on them user/AppData/Local/Temp folder?I need to set it so folders and subfolder cant be deleted, then turn it back on. Not doing anything shady... this is for personal use I make themes for BB phones, and there is a trick where you can set this permission, then export the theme, and it allows you to look at the code of the theme so you can make adjustments in how things work
I use a custom tool to translate a flat text to xml text. I then create the file, with over-write set to True. When I try to write the text to the file, I get the error. The error says "Error: Invalid procedure call or argument", "System: Access is denied." It seems like the Create command is holding the file locked, so the Write command fails.
Running in VbsEdit IDE, I can see it fail. If I copy the text which is trying to be written, and paste it into UltraEdit, then attempt to save the file there, I get the same error This is expected, because the VBScript execution is holding the file locked. It should NOT be holding it locked for the script itself, right?[code]...
I am currently creating dynamic SSIS packages that import/export and access data between a SQL Server and several Access DB files. (Jet files if you want to get technical.)
The last line throws an exception "Cannot open file" with certain end-user profiles. It works perfectly fine when executing from an Admin account. I just cannot figure out what user privileges and access settings may cause the error. Note that it also works with some end-user accounts (not admins). What missing user rights can cause this?
I've a winforms application that is using SQLite database. There is no encryption on the database (data has to be shared with other user). It is a stand alone application with a stand alone local database.
The difficulty I'm encountering is when people go to bring all the data together.The databases are attached, data imported, but records are differentiated by a database GUID.At any rate I am desiring to have a database selection screen that is protected by a password to prevent users mistakenly switching databases (and some level of protection against malicious use).
Thinking it's probably not a particularly good idea to store the password in an unecrypted database.Security is not a large issue as this is only distributed to users that need the software.
What would be the best method to have the user type a password when they attempt to access the database selection screen? ShowDialog? Pop open a new child form with a password TextBox, then on validation (via button?) close the password form and open the protected form?I see a fair bit about protecting a whole application, but not so much about a specific form.
Public Sub Share() Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share") Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
I am trying to create a similar way to Cpanel password protect directory, where a pop up comes out asking the user for a username and a password, but Cpanel way is amazing but my client doesn't know anything on how to do that, so i wanted to create a pop up msgbox informing the visitor to enter a user name and a password, and i totaly confused on how to create it, and which programming language support similar to CPanel

I have developed a VB.net 2008 application.My application is running successfully in x86 machine.I write some files in windows folder.When I test it on Windows 7 x64 machine with administrator log in there is no problem with this.If i run it with other user log in it gives me an error for access denied for files in Windows folder.
I'm in the mid of creating a program that will get the security permissions of a certain folder/s but some properties of the security permissions of a certain folder I can't query or get the values.

Is it possible to make it both in one zip folder (Embedded both together in one folder and locate it in desktop?
if it is not possible to password protect a folder in Vista how it comes that exist some application specifically designed to lock folders? How do they managed to achieve something that should be impossible? Why there is not a function in vb.net that allows to lock folders?
is it possible to have my app protect a folder's files from being viewed by other users. like, if i set the command to protect a folder, then if anyone tries to access that folder will be prompted with a msgbox.
it probably means having a separate app loading at windows startup and constatly running in the background to make sure that folder isn't being accessed. so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...
I am trying to import a bunch of excel 2003 files all with A:H columns and they are under the same headings etc. into a table in access 2003 database. This is a module in access im making. Im using a file search to look for every file that begins with Format (which they all do ) to get at all the files in the folder path. is there a more efficient way to do this? somehow select all files in a folder? and import each to the same table in access? The DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet seeems to take each file path individually so I'm not sure how to get each file name in the folder to import it.
I have this at the moment:
Sub Import() Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb
