"Everyone" has all "(F)" rights.

However, I can not copy files to that folder with the standard user's account.

Requires administrator privileges.

Why?

C:\Users\test>icacls "C:\Program Files\test"
C:\Program Files\test Everyone:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
                      Everyone:(F)


C:\Users\test>whoami
user-pc\test

  • Does your user account have permission to access that specific folder? – BlitzNinja29 Dec 04 '18 at 02:26
  • Anyway, can access it by adding users to the folder using admin rights. However, I would like to access the folder as a standard user without using administrator privileges. – y1026 Dec 04 '18 at 04:10
  • It's not an issue with the DACL entries from what I can see; although it could be simplified to one entry. Certainly the user is a member of the "everyone" well-known group (SID S-1-1-0 or SDDL "WD"); only anonymous logons are excluded from this group by default. I cannot reproduce the problem in Windows 10, so I suspect your issue is due to a third-party file-system filter, possibly a component of an anti-malware program. – Eryk Sun Dec 04 '18 at 04:50

TrustedInstaller may be blocking your access, you can try editing your permissions using the steps below.

  1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:// drive (or where your Program Files folder is located)
  2. Right click and select "Preferences" (Image)
  3. Under attributes click the 'Read-Only' checkbox until it is blank (Image)
  4. Go to the 'Security' tab (Image)
  5. Click 'Advanced' (Image)
  6. Click the 'Change' button (This will require administrator access)(Image)
  7. Put your user name in the box Examples and click 'OK'
  8. Then, you should be able to edit the permissions for a specific user by going back to the 'Security' tab and clicking edit (Image)
  9. Select the user you want and adjust the permissions to your needs
  10. Don't forget to apply your changes

  • thank you!!! However, I would like to access the folder as a standard user without using administrator privileges. But it seems impossible. – y1026 Dec 04 '18 at 04:09
  • Yes, it would be impossible without any admin privileges. – Mosrod Dec 04 '18 at 20:10
