Hello
I get "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may
not have appropriate permissions to access the item." when I double-click a
file. I'm the only owner of the computer. How to get full access to all
contents?

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

I'm the Owner of the file and have full access, but the "Effective
permissions" are all checked and grayed for me.
 
What the EXE and LNK Fixes would do in my Windows XP? How to know If they
would help?
 
The fixes didn't help.

This means that you have full control and it is inherited from
some higher directory.
Are you sure that there is no Deny for some group, and if
there is make sure your account is not a member of the group.
Deny overrides a Grant.
 
You are probably having a problem with Windows Media
Player, it will say this if you don't allow it to view
files instead of WinDVD or the like. Just go into your
options and say use Media Player for all and it will go
away.

How to become sure that there is no Deny for any group. The file is EFS
protected. But I can open other EFS protected files.
 
The file is EXE.

I'm a member of the Administrators group only. The Administrators group has
full access to the file.
 
When you look at the file's properties Security dialog
is anything checked for any group in the Deny column ?
You must highlight each group listed one at a time and
then look at what is Granted/Denied.
An account that is only in Administrators group is
actually also in other things to which there can be
NTFS Grants/Denies, like Authenticated Users,
Network, Interactive, Everyone. . . .
Not having EFS authorization appears as if it is a
NTFS permissions denial. You should use the cipher
commandline utility to examine the thumbprint info of
the file to see what accounts are allowed to decrypt it.
 
There's only the Administrators group in the file's properties Security
dialog. There is not anything checked for the group in the Deny column.
 
There's no a NTFS permissions denial. There's only "Windows cannot access
the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate
permissions to access the item."
 
I tried to add myself and/or another user to "Users Who Can Transparently
Access this File" and got an error
"ERSADU
Error in adding new user(s). Error code 5."
 
Could the NTFS permissions denial begin to appear because of the computer
renaming?
 
code 5 is probably access failure
in this case since you do not have EFS capability to decrypt
you are not allowed to modify who can decrypt
