Windows 10: You Don't Have Permission to Access

You mount an external drive while sitting at your home desk and now you don't have access to some directories anymore.
What I did to solve this is:

• Select the drive and open the Properties -> Security tab.
• Go to Advanced.
• Change ownership to "Everyone"
• Absolutely remember to check: "Replace all child object permissions entries with inheritable permission entries from this object."

That's it.

Access Denied on Windows File on External Drive

Windows 10.

This is no recipe but you can try this:

1. Open: Properties -> Security -> Advanced
2. Change Owner to Everyone. How to do that depends on the type of user you are.
3. Now in the security tab, select Everyone on Group or User Names.
4. The Edit button on change permissions should be enabled.
5. Select Full Control and save.

You don't currently have permission to access this folder

So you mount an external disk, try to go to the directory where you need to go and Windows tells you that you don't have the permission to do that.
I never understood the philosophy of Windows security, probably because I'm used to Linux. I don't want to understand it anyway unless it gets in my way.
What I tried successfully is:

1. Open the folder's Properties.
2. Go to Security and click Advanced.
3. Change Owner: Enter the object name to select and do Check Names.
4. Check Replace owner on subcontainer and objects.
5. Ignore the Windows security warning.
6. You're done!
