Vento Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I got a slight issue with downloaded torrent files.After I reformatted my computer and reinstalled utorrent, now, every time I finished downloading a torrent file, the icon will be accompanied with a weird "lock" icon (please refer to picture below), however, I tried playing it on my computer and it seems I can play it without any problems anyway. I tried dragging it into a pendrive and the transfer is successful. But if possible, I would like to remove this icon altogether. Do I have to change some settings on my utorrent?Here's the picture in question.Link for bigger sized image: http://i.imgur.com/u76Ei6o.jpgAll of them are downloaded via utorrent. The ones in circles are the ones with the "weird lock" icon, the rest are downloaded before my computer was reformatted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It means that the current user or user group has read only permissions to those files. Usually due to the originator of the torrent having the files in a security enabled location such as My Documents, My Music etc.Use the security tab in Folder Properties to reset the ownership and permissions.
