    Default user rights with new install.


    Back again and sorry to keep on with the questions. Just want to get this done with and straightened out correctly. I did a test run 10 OS install with an erased drive to check some things. Checking installed folders and files for users and rights. Should I not have full administrator rights to everything this way? I noticed that on some C drive folders and files I don't. If I try to take ownership on some files, it gives an error and won't allow it. I think some where saying system owned. Some folders I can't even access. Application Data, local settings, nethood, etc. Have a blue arrow on the icon and I can't even open those. Im showing in the users list with full control,but can not just open them. Trying to change ownership from SYSTEM to me gives an unable to error. Is this the way those attributes should be with a new install? And I have 7 different NTUSER files under C with everything opened to where I can see what's open. Is that normal?
    Thank you wonderful people again! Sorry to be a bother.

    Anything with system is locked as anything changed there could break windows so mess with them at your own risk of breaking the system

    Thank you Samurai! I don't want to change any of it. Just want to make sure it's all the way it's supposed to be. Do not want to do all this and there still be something there that would allow them back in my PC. Should they have the, what looks like shared arrows on them? I don't have anything shared or personal files on the disc.
    Thank you so much!
