Yes, i have NTFS file format.
The reason I want "permissions" is to implement a fix for
a problem which involves following a solution from Doug
Knox's XP tips web site:
1. Click start/run/regedt32
2. Locate the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage
System Provider
3. Right click this key then select "Permissions"
4. In the Permissions for the Protected Storage System
Provider dialog box, click the "Advanced Tab", and make
sure thet the <Username> has Full Control access.
Select "Replace permission entries...."
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 thru 5 for each subkey listed under the
Protected Storage System Provider key, otherwise you may
receive the following error message when you try to delete
the Protected Storage System Provider key:
"Registry editor could not delete the currently
selected key. The key or one of its subkeys does not give
you delete access"
And this is EXACTLY what happens when I select "Delete"
from either the Edit Menu option or the right mouse click.
So I need to have access to the "Permissions" it would
seem?
This is driving me crazy . . . .
