system.unauthorizedaccessexception access to the path ..... is denied - vb.net

I am running a system.xml.xmltextwriter() method in vb.net and everytime it tries to run i get a "system.unauthorizedaccessexception access to the path (FilePath) is denied."
I have been to through this file path giving all folders and the file full control access rights to "Everyone" (i know you shouldn't from a security point of view but i'm just trying to solve the problem at the moment).
If anyone has any other ideas as to what the problem could be it'd be much appreciated

xampp apache server error 403 access forbidden on windows10

I've installed xampp in two different pc and in both of them it gives me the same error running windows10 (both with it). Apache server runs correctly, the ports are dedicated to httpd as it's supposed but when I try to access the folder of my website project to test the html files, google chrome, firefox and explorer show me a message saying: "Error 403 - access forbidden because you don't have the right permissions". I've tried everything that is in the other similar questions here and already gave permisions to all users in my folders, even to the whole drive c:. I also modified the txt files inside the folder /apache/conf/ and didn't work. I've seen that in some questions regarding the same matter, the file httpd.conf is a little bit different with parts that I can't see in mine. Thank you so much.
Finally, I solved the problem learning some more. I post it here in case someone is starting with it like me. The point is that when you install xampp, the program has a default folder where it let's you put your projects, it's called "htdocs". So that you can work only with project folders that you create inside this "htdocs" folder. If you try to create a new folder on c:/ for example, the program will not let you access beacuase of security (everybody could access all the folders on your computer, entering your server). I hope this to be of some help for someone else. Thank you, and sorry for the newbie question.

v4.master page - access is denied on saving

I've got a plain vanilla SharePoint2010 Blank Site installed (through the wizard) in a Win2k8 VM. When attempting to save changes to the v4.master page, I get an access denied error. I'm logged in as a local admin. I've tried editing the file with VS2010 and with Notepad++. Thanks for any help!
Sorry Guys... File permission setting in the folder. I did not have Full control permission. Enabling this for me allowed the edits, although, this shouldn't be done anyway. Thanks, Chris for the input.

Error Access denied to programmatically created folder

I Have Created document set in that document i have programmatically created an Tempfolder but when i access that folder it shows error like"Access to the path 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\MyTempFolder' Access is denied"
please guide me.
It is correct behavior because you need administrator's rights to access that folder.
The simples solution is to run you program as Administration but I would rather change the folder, otherwise you need to elevate the rights of you app.
Furhter you can look here and here.

Can't read or write to directory CFFILE despite 777 permissions coldfusion

This is installed on a Unix system I don't have direct access to, but can get insight on by sitting with a network team.
The problem is this, I have 3 folders I need access to, read and write. The problem is, I only have access to 1 of them, and only read. This is via ColdFusion, I can get into them fine with the user they are assigned to (and the CF server runs on, which is the "www" user).
I CAN read and write to the temporary file directory, the place files are stored before they are moved to the destination directory (SERVER-INF/ etc etc etc), but that's not helpful. I have tried having the network people set the permissions for the other folders to the same thing, but with no results. The current settings of the folder I can access are rwxrws--- and the other folders are rwxrwxr-x, so I should have more permissions ( the "s" is not a mistake in the first folder).
We have tried setting the other folders to 777 and we did not even get read capability. Does the server need to be restarted on a Unix box after setting new permissions for ColdFusion to be able to get to them? I'm out of ideas right now, I'll take any new suggestions.
TL;DR
All using ColdFusion
temp directory - can read and write to
folder 1 - can read from (including subdirectories)
folder 2 - cannot read or write to (permission denied)
folder 3 - cannot read or write to (permission denied)
Goal: Get upload functionality working.
Edit: Server using apache
Just a random guess... Have you checked that paths you are trying to access are fully correct? They should be absolute for file operations, and www user must have X permissions on the all path directories -- to enter them.
The problem ended up being a restart was required after setting the new folder permissions. We didn't think this was an issue on a Unix box, however ColdFusion apparently did. This worked.

Why does accessing files in AppData (on Vista) require admin rights?

My application (vb.net) sometimes throws an "access denied" exception when attempting to delete files in the AppData folder and I'm not sure why.
I confirm that the file exists before attempting to delete it and have not done anything to make it readonly, etc.
The interesting thing is that it seems to go okay when I'm logged in with Admin rights. However, I thought that the AppData folder did not require admin rights.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
My gut instincts without seeing your code is that maybe you have this file opened in your program or in another program?
Maybe these files were created when you launched your application being logged on as Admin? So you get this error when you try to delete them later as normal user.
It is not necessarily the folder, but the Owner of the file you are trying to interact with. If the File is owned by Administrators, you may have problems.
AppData is a protected hidden folder because it is meant for your applications to store Local, LocalLow and Roaming application related data. This is why you would get prompted with a UAC prompt when you try to head into the folder and it is also hidden from view.
Try to use the Privilege demand attribute in your code to request process elevation to access the folder.
