PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied. How to make a folder in the Program Files directory unprotected?

Anonymous

Hi, so Im having an issue with some extension for a software I have in my Program files directory (Windows is keeping it from accessing some folder there. If I however move the software out of the program files dir (to my desktop lets say) it runs just fine. So how would I make a directory unprotected to prevent this issue from occuring without having to move my program out of the program files directory?

What Ive tried so far is granting the "all programs" and "all restricted programs" groups "all permissions" in these panels

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Olliver

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

Typically Blender is not installed into the Program Files Folder, it is a Standalone Application that can run from any folder, and due to the amount of Plugins . . etc. required for Blender, it is best to not install Blender into the Program Files folder

On that Security Tab, click the Add Button and add a new User, name it: Everyone

Then give that user full control on the Blender folder

Then check if you can access that folder . . .
