    I’m pretty sure I can. It just takes a little more effort actually going into the permissions tab of the files because Windows doesn’t have an equivalent to CHMOD AFAIK.

    Though, I am pretty sure you can do those basic permission options without Pro or Enterprise. You just need to be on an administrator account. Other things, like messing with actual system files, requires the Group Policy Editor.

      On any Windows system based on the NT kernel (XP+), there’s an additional access level above “Administrator”: NT Authority\SYSTEM. Some malware can make files hidden or write protected even to Administrator, and afaik there isn’t a legitimate way to obtain that authority
