An audio folder on my external hard drive was created 10 years ago and accessible and able to read/write the contents until I moved from 7 to a Windows 10 machine recently. It is the only folder of many on the drive with this problem. Other audio files outside of this folder are accessible and play.
I am using the sole administrator account for the computer; there are no other user accounts. I am the only one who will ever be using the computer. I do not share any files or download any new ones.
The main audio file folder has some 'loose' audio files as well as several sub folders in it. At first, when I would click on the main audio folder it wouldn't let me in and I'd get the "you don't currently have permission to access this folder" so I clicked continue to permanently add "Administrators" as owner. Now I can get in the main audio folder to view the 'loose' files and sub folders BUT...
1) when I click on one of the 'loose' files, whatever it is in "my music" that's it's set to play in by default gives me a "can't play. We can't get to the file for this item. If it's downloading or just finished downloading, try again soon. Otherwise, make sure another app isn't using the file and that you can access the place the file is stored. 0x80070005." Right clicking the files and sending them to Windows Media player produces "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct."
2) all of the sub folders in the main folder are giving me the "you don't currently have permission to access this folder..." error message.
I don't know if I already have done something wrong, already spent some hours trying, and could use some help, please. Thank you. I could bring this external drive back to a machine with an older version of Windows, if that helps (?).
