"Access Denied" on Documents and Settings folder.
My computer died so I took the harddrive out and put it in my other computer
as a second drive (not the drive to boot from). Now everything under the F:\Documents & Settings\Len" directory cannot be accessed. If I look at the "Len" directory and all of it's subdirectories on the second drive "Make this folder private" is not check so I don't understand why I can't read it. In fact the "Make this folder private" is not checked. If it helps any the drive is an NTFS drive. |

When I click on "Properties" on the subdirectory I don't have a "Security" tab.

yes i can't access the shared folders from my other computers. I shared all my drives, grant all permision, i am adminstrator and did took over the folders but still cant access??? its driving me crazy Obligatory safety alert: Don't full-share *all* your drives, because you expose integration points (C:\Autoexec.bat, C:\Boot.ini, "C:\Documents and Settings\*\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp"), that allow malware to drop straight into the startup axis. Sure, passwords may block this, but why risk it if you can avoid it? Any system already authenticated to access the share is wide open as a malware donor, no matter how limited the user rights may be. -- Risk Management is the clue that asks: "Why do I keep open buckets of petrol next to all the ashtrays in the lounge, when I don't even have a car?" ----------------------- ------ ---- --- -- - - - - |
