No, you'll get other issues, at far greater cost !

To get to the properties, open the folder containing the image file in Explorer, right click the file, select Properties from the resulting menu.


As usual, CHG_CANON is 100% correct, concise, clear and to the point.

Good luck if you're dealing with Windows 10. I'm a Mac user but have two programs I depend on that run only on Windows, so I have to keep a Windows box around. At some point the thing decided I did not have authority to modify files in the Documents folder that Win10 creates, even though I operate as Administrator and am in fact the only authorized user (and have never personally set limited permissions on anything in that computer.) I fooled around with all the Permissions I could find and it didn't fix the problem. I gather there's some additional, higher level of security that Win10 also imposes, that's based on group authorizations or some such, but I could never figure out exactly what that was, how it fit on a single-user computer, or how to set it to let me write where I wanted to. I ended up creating a new "Documents" folder with a slightly different name, copied everything over to it (this computer has word processing, spreadsheet and email files from 25 years of prior Windows machines, in hundreds of sub- and sub-sub- folders in the Documents top folder) and now use that as the destination for all files.

So if the immediate problem is not camera-induced, and you can't find the correct Windows permission to fix it, maybe this is a solution - however inelegant.

Your love of Win 10 parallels mine. A curse on mankind!

Try and provide some useful information to the OP's question. (By the way, operating system bigotry went out of style about fifteen years ago, and reflects more on you than adding anything substantive or useful to UHH.)

You may already have a file of that name. Try another.
You may already have that file open somewhere else. Take a look.
Otherwise, exit everything. Right click the file, click "Take Ownership", and try again.
