I don't know, but whatever kinda weed this man is on, I want some!!

He is obviously high!

So whats the fuss about it all? I thought they are all on the same team now and reconciled? Does it matter if he was invited or he begged for the reconciliation?

Duplicate thread

Yeah, I got that same error too, but clicking OK and continuing granted me access to the TEMP folder still.

Na wa o...this your issue sha.

By the way, why do you need access explicitly to this TEMP folder? Perhaps if we knew what you trying to achieve, there just may be another way around it.

Dear TKolade,

Apologies for moving the thread. It was an over sight/mistake.

The thread, LAPTOP Advice, has been restored now. Thanks for calling my attention to it.

Regards.

Looks to me you are a member of the Administrator group.

Lets do this. It may seem long, but the steps are easy:
1. Right click My Computer and select properties. Then select "Advanced system settings"


2. Click the "Advanced" tab and click the "Environment variables"


3. In the "System Variable" section, scroll down to the "TEMP" variable and note the location shown. In case, TEMP = C:\Windows\Temp


4. Close all open dialogs/windows, and navigate to the "C:\Windows\" and right click on the "TEMP" folder, select "Properties" . Next click the "Security" tab


5. Click "Continue" to bring up the screen below. Click "Add" next


6. Clicking "Add" from step 5 above would open the dialog below. The field "Enter the Object Name" , enter "User" ...this is your username as you've indicated in the previous post output


7. Click on "Check Names" to confirm the account is valid. The computer name is automatically appended to the username you entered confirming its is valid. Once its valid, click "OK" to proceed to step 8


8. You should now see your username added to the list as indicated below. Under the "Allow" checkboxes, click "Full Control"


9. Full control has been granted to your user. Click OK next


10. Accept the warning and click "OK" on any open dialog left.


11. You should be granted access to the folder.



Cheers!

I just noticed I can no more like or share a comment. I only view the number of likes others did in someone's comment. Pls what's d issue.

You are not logged in. You are currently viewing the forum as a guest.

When you find your hacker, ask am if he fit be hired killer too! I am looking for one!

Why would you want to do that in the first place? Are you "trying to increase the capacity of your power bank"?

mday:
Sorry, I don't really know how to "screen shot". In any case this is what I tried to do before running into the hitch: start menu>accessories>run>in the dialogue box I typed "temp". This is when it says I don't have the permission to access this folder and directed me to use the "security tab" instead: but this also ended unsuccessfully.

Does the user your are currently logged on with have administrative privileges?
The "Continue" button, when click, would implicitly grant you access to the said folder ONLY if your current user is a member of the "Administrator" group on your PC.

To confirm this:
1. Open command prompt (cmd)
2. Type the following command
net localgroup "Administrators"

The output should be sometime like this:

C:\Users\Maleeq>net localgroup "Administrators"
Alias name Administrators
Comment Administrators have complete and unrestricted access to the computer/domain

Members

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Administrator
Maleeq
The command completed successfully.

Note: The highlighted name is my own currently logged on username.

3. Is your currently logged on user name displayed? If no, then you will have to log on with an account/user that has administrative rights to assign your user to the Administrator group.

Try these first, and let me know so we know where to proceed from.

Regards.

Perhaps I am not getting you right, what do you mean by "main temp folder"?
A screenshot could shed more light no this if you can.

I tire for this people. If Dogara gives all the head ships of house committees to APC, una go complain say they are imposing one party rule. Now, they share the positions with you, you call it war on APC leadership.

Frankly, these guys aren't for the good of the country. What should be of focus is how to drive the country forward and not bickering back and forth like a bunch of deprived kids!

@OP
What antivirus program do you have installed?

Some antivirus program, by default, blocks execution from and access to the %temp% directory

@OP
Tetris, Solitaire, scrabble etc.

Relax let me finish him now . . .

Big question: WHY DO PEOPLE BUY BUGATTI VEYRONS, LAMBOS, GTIs, etc . . when MY COROLLA, OR GOLF 2, OR EVEN TOYOTA CARINA will do the same job . . which is ... TAKE ME TO AND FRO MY DESTINATION

In there lies your answer as per why people purchase Macs . . .

Emmmmmm....so people buy macs to show off affluence?
I've always said the average mac user here in Nigeria gets a mac simply for "effizy". Plus they ALWAYS feel the need to defend their "investment".


@makavele & @litaninja
Oya, you guys should kiss and make up (Not literally kiss o! Abegi)
To each, his own. This thread is meant for MAC related issues. Kindly stop derailing the thread.

Regards.

The voice surely doesn't have the accent of a Nigerian. I'd take it as either a prank call on the station or something totally false to label Nigeria bad.

sameolg616:
i would simply like to know who the stupid moderators on this forum are?if i read carefully maleeq and skydancer...
i got banned here for 4days by the autobot cuz i pasted a microsoft link for beskypowa needed to solve his keyboard problem..
the first ban read it was a for a few hours while the other read till october 15....are u kidding me?
normally i wld av attached it to my post(10mb) then i realised the max limit was 4mb so i provided the link instead..
what was annoying was,i looked up the moderators profiles and on 2 separate occasions,i each wrote(email) to them to investigate the matter and rescind the decision...but i never got any reply yet..
people shd know their roles and live up to them..and if u aint up to the task;if moderating 2 sections is too much then take a bow and let someone else fill the space.
we provide a near-free service here to ignorant people who simply see as miracle workers...and even after devoting a part of my day,knowledge and skills to fulfill my obligations here- i get banned by an autobot(transformer) and the moderators cant do anytin about it..
pls review whatever rules set except u are the autobots...
i dont care if i get banned....

Thank you for calling my attention to your plight.

Whilst it is commendable that your have devoted part of your day to provide, in your words, "miracles to ignorant people here", you should understand that moderating these boards is voluntary service, as such, I dedicate part of my own day to resolving whatever complaints. And I am human, I can and do miss some messages/complaints sometimes: and in your books, that makes me stupid. Thanks.

Anyways, your post (with the shared link) that got you banned by the bot has been restored. On behalf of nairaland, accept our apologies for having the spend the ban duration.

For future reference, always embed external links in the tags [ url = place the link here ]*place your text here*[ /url ]. This can be found in the toolbar icon in the post edit page.

Regards.

Action taken: @USATrucks has been banned, forum wide, for one year.

Intending buyers should always be cautious when getting stuff online. Advance fee/payment is a NO-NO if its not with a reputable/established eCommerce firm online. Best advice is to meet with the seller in a neutral place and conduct your trade.

Regards.

@USATrucks
You have been called out by @chydy111 on a possible fraudulent act.

Kindly address this issue here on this thread promptly. Failure to do so ASAP would have certain actions meted out on you on the forum.

Regards

Bros, I am for real. The same way fashola was busy arresting violators of BRT lane. You didn't say it was the work of LASTMA then. Sometimes you encourage people to obey the law by doing something like this.

Well said.

royallord1:

well he is still within his duty.... as chief tax officer of the state... vehicle registration and licenses are a form of taxation...road taxation to be exact... so he is doing his job to check if his citizens hav paid their road taxes... with dwindling finances of d nation...i believe this act will boost the appropraite tax authority to get to work.... by appropraite i dont mean nigerian police. he is not flouting any law...

Perhaps he should take up arms and provide security for the people too instead of the police: he wont be flouting any law either, and the people would be confident that the man they voted for really cares about their safety. Plus miscreants/thieves/etc would back off Ekiti cos there is a new sheriff in town.

helpee:
If you know how much lagos makes from vehicle license per month then you will know it is not publicity stunt. By the time motorist know fayose will check their papers the licensing office will be filled up with people for renewal and the state generate more money.

are you for real bro?

den den den, Buhari must hear dis!

@Martins301

Further to what @MarvellousGod and @Prinzofparis said, I would only differ in one point: Sending the letter to the HR Manager.

In my opinion (experience), HR managers don't make the call for vacancies. The unit/department in need of a skill places the request to the HR manager. If the HRM gets your letter, he/she may chose to send it out to the perceived department you best fit or simply look through the vacancy listing and if none exists, dumps your letter in KIV (keep in view) hopefully.

However, I'd add that you take time out and research the company you are sending it to. Find out the department you are interested in, and then send your letter (CV and cover letter) to the head of the department. He/she may not exactly have an opening, but seeing your well packaged letter can make him/her think you'd fit in well and then he/she would send a requirement to the HRM.

Thats just how I feel...and that's what worked for me.


Cheers.

Maleeq, skydancer

I need you to make this thread sticky and official please... This can help some people to improve online.

The idea of an online lesson would be incomplete without an outline. Computing is too vast to be catered for on a thread/forum without laid down schedules.

If you have any specific field(s) you'd like to cover, sure we can sticky or move the thread to front page.

Lordbammy:
Why do NL moderators prefer entertainment/news on Front page than science and technology? I hardly see technology topics on NL front page...everything na about news..lagbaja kill termedo..baba suwe is doing marraige (see photo) ...father rape daughter(pics)...haba....life is not all abt entertainment..

Thanks for the observation. Most thread in the tech sections don't really appeal to the larger populace like gossips does. However, we do push tech threads to the front page.

Please, if you spot any tech thread you find interesting, kindly suggest it to me or other moderators, and we'd have it queued up for the front page soonest.

For a moment there, i thought "Passing out" as in "fainting"!!!

Congrats!!!

Great!!

Now, I just have to "mistakenly" leave this page for a colleague of mine to read and help save humanity! The fella's mouth odour no be here!!

exhibition:


Maybe you can have NLders list them, and we also vet them.

Sounds like a good plan.

Would you spearhead it?

purplekayc:
Mods with the way you guys are blocking posts ,how do you expect them to ait their views?

They aren't posting their views/complaints, they are posting stuffs that are contrary to the purpose of this thread!

exhibition:
Hello maleeq, can you list trusted sellers here??

Sure, you can.

But how do we verify they are "trusted"?
