How do i get my own permission to open a file

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

Hi I have uploaded a song from a USB stick and the site says i musy get permission to open it. Why do i need permission to open my own file

2

What does that mean (what “site” are you talking about)?
What is the exact and complete message?

3

The site in question is Audacity, and the message reads You can not open this file without permision of either a Administrater.or the file owners permision

4

I don’t understand. Do you mean the Audacity website, or the Audacity application (the software program)?

That looks like an operating system message.

5

So What can be done about it

6

The file is in Wave form and i want to convert it to MP3

7

Can you copy the WAV file to your “Documents” folder?

8

I have moved it to my documents

9

Are you able to import it into Audacity from Documents?

10

I have uploaded a song

Are you on a corporate or training environment? Sometimes schools limit your ability to manage and share music. Did you sing or play the music? Do you have a stand-alone Windows machine?

Ha!
I wonder how many people read through this thread, and bristled with pleasure at Roy’s parting remark :slight_smile:

He’s 87 years old … has loads to do … and not enough time to do it all.
The last thing he needs, is to mess around with Windows 10 permissions.

Decisive!
… and a man of character, who didn’t leave the thread hanging.

The way to go Roy.
Life is just too short.
