KapilArya Hi Kapil thanks for your reply. I just tried on one subfolder. It can be opened now. However, the contents are not playable (the subfolders contain songs). How can I do it for the main folder as there are 100+ subfolders, applying individually is very difficult. Can you suggest what to do for the entire folder?

KapilArya Thankfully the folders are now accessible but none of the content (MP3s) are playable, not in WMP or VLC /Groove.

KapilArya Hi, I have checked the option as said but still getting another error. For your info, the folder is at my external HDD. This particular issue is with this folder only. There is no such issue with any other folders. While changing or taking ownership, the following error appears. Attached.

Thanks
