of the file or folder and therefore cannot perform any actions on it or the operating system or another program is currently using it. You can usually figure out which situation you're involved with by taking a look https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2623670 at what exactly you're trying to do. If you get the Access is Denied or You don't currently have permission to access this folder message, then you're probably looking at a permissions problem. If you're not an Administrator on the computer, you're probably not going to be able to fix this issue, so first make sure you can get access to an admin account. Access Is Denied Error This particular error is normally caused by NTFS http://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/how-to-fix-access-is-denied-file-may-be-in-use-or-sharing-violation-errors-in-windows/ permissions, but it can also be caused by other issues like a corrupt user profile, encryption on the file or if the file is in use. We'll talk about file in use errors in the next section. To gain access to the file or folder, you'll need to have the correct permissions configured for your account. Before you start doing any work, you should try to click on the Continue button that will show up in Windows 7 and Windows 8 automatically. This will try to give your user account permissions to the folder as long as you are the owner. If you get the You have been denied permission to access this folder message after clicking Continue, that means you are not the owner and you'll have to first take ownership of the folder before you can change any permissions. Take Ownership of Files and Folders in Windows Taking ownership is unfortunately quite a process, so it's best to have ample time and patience before attempting this. To get started, you need to right-click on the file or folder, choose Properties and then go to the Security tab. If you have no access to the folder, you'll see a message stating you have to be an Administrator to view the security properties. Go ahead and click on Continue. This will pop up another dialog where you get the

Network http://support.2brightsparks.com/knowledgebase/articles/210938-access-denied-error-message SecurityThis type of error commonly occurs when copying to a network share. On the computer that is sharing the folder over the network:- Run Windows File Explorer- Navigate to the folder you’re sharing- Right-click on the folder and select Sharing and Security... from the pop-up menu- Depending on how Windows XP is configured there are two different options:1) Tick the checkbox that says error copying Allow network users to change my filesor2) Click on the Permissions button and make sure Full Control is tickedIf it still fails try removing the share and recreating it with Full Control / Allow network users to change my files. This will reset the file permissions.Note: it's likely that network access to files hosted on machines running later versions of Windows (by another networked error copying file machine running an earlier version of Windows) may be more problematic due to (more) restrictive security in the newer version of Windows, and/or security modes, access tokens, etc., that differ between the two systems). Older versions of Windows are generally less restrictive in that respect, so you may have more success installing on the machine with the newer Windows version and accessing the older machine/version's files over the network. Such a setup may thus be able to access the files on both sides more easily.Encrypted Blocked Files If you download a file, e.g. using Internet Explorer, to an NTFS volume, then the file may be marked as blocked by Windows. You can see if a file is blocked by right-clicking on it and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu. At the bottom of the General tab it will say if the file is blocked or not (This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer). You can click the Unblock button to unblock the file. If a file is both NTFS encrypted, and blocked, then you cannot copy the file from a remote comp
