Permissions Issue re 'Shredding' files in 'Temporary - Microsoft Community
This is the equivalent thread I'm running on Microsoft's Community forum
I reviewed the support session under SR 484570-2236782076 that you posted. I would like to clarify the below
1. The Temp directory is on a separate drive partition and not on the Local disk where Windows install resides. This may be an issue because the System may not have permissions on this Drive Partition.
2. Is your Windows 10 a Retail copy or the Insider Preview build. If it is the later then it is possible that CU for Windows 10 might have a change that caused this issue.
Hi Chinthanai,
1. Yes, the 'Windows Temporary Directory' IS on a separate partition. It is a single-user PC and I ALWAYS access with 'Administrator's' permissions.
2. I'm running a retail version of Windows 10 Pro, currently Windows 10 v1703 (Build 15063.332)
Sorry missed the important bit off -
All users EXCEPT 'Users (MISSION-CONTROL\Users)' have 'Full Control'.

Permissions Issue re 'Shredding' files in 'Temporary - Microsoft Community
- it's my equivalent thread on Microsoft's Community website.
I've just been updated to McAfee All Access v 16.0.0 - the issue is still there
See what selvan says but I just shreded 5 files and all worked fine in 16.0.154
I understand that MISSION-CONTROL is the name of PC and any windows user profile falls within the "Users" group. Is it possible for you to add permissions to "Users" group as well and see if Shredding works. By Permissions I mean allowing the below
1. Full Control
2. Modify
3 Write
Hi,
I've completed your request to change the permissions of the 'User' group
Unfortunately, the issue still persists -
