On Windows7 I am trying to read file
C:\programdata\microsoft\application virtualization client\SoftGrid Client\sftfs.fsd
using a Python program, but I get a PermissionError.
How do I get permission?
Why does folder programdata not show in the Microsoft file manager/explorer?
right click on the file or folder go down to properties click security and it should have change permissions I dont know though last time I did that It locked my HDD and I couldnt boot
Tough to do if the folder does not even show up.
Oh ok
It's a hidden folder. You have to enable "Show Hidden Folders, Files and Drives" in folder view.
What is folder view?
Got into it using help.
In an Explorer window
Organize >- Folder and Search Options
Click on the View tab.
Thank you! Just a little MS game of hide and seek?
I like messing around with hide and seek when finding something
