When you create a new compressed zip file or rar file, you will notice a small lock icon. This lock icon means that this file is protected from other standard users of this computer.
Follow below steps to remove lock icon from zip / rar files.
- Right click the zipped file and click properties.
- Click Edit button under Security tab.
- Click Add button.
- Enter users and click Ok button.
- Click Apply button on other windows.
- Lock icon will now disappear from the zip / rar file.
Follow same steps to remove lock icon from other folder / files like images, video etc.
Namaste,
Thanks for your tip Ravi. Will try it as I am having difficulty removing it from my desktop and moving it to trash so it can be deleted from my computer.
