I was trying to change the properties of a folder as the admin account and when I went to select the check boxes for modify and full control, they are not selectable. What should I do?

    HI,

    I just realized that you are referring to a Windows System folder. Unfortunately, we can't take full control of folders that belong to the system.

    This did not help me out. It is the same as the screenshot.

    Hi Mahadev_412,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    Are you using an administrator account?

    Can you try to enable the built-inAdministrator?

    >Open “Run” with [Windows] + [R].

    >Type “cmd” and press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Enter].

    >Type “net user administrator /active:yes”.

    > Then check and edit the folder properties again.
