"...is not accessable. Access denied."
If you don't know a lot about computers it is best to take ***your***
computer to a competent tech. Tell what has happened. Tell him you want to have full administrator rights. Tell him YOU want your son to only be able to log on with restricted rights. Then ask him how he can set it up for you so that the son/child/user CAN NOT change it back. There are ways! Take control of "your" property. After all, you likely paid for the computer and are paying for the internet service. Don't allow your son/child/user to abuse YOU! -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

If the files are encrypted with EFS [XP Pro only] then you will not be able
to access them unless you know the users password. However as administrator you can add a Recovery Agent to EFS and then as RA be able to see EFS files on the computer. However first check the file properties to see if they are encrypted or not as most likely you simply do not have proper permissions to the folder/file [which is common on a user's profile under documents and settings] though as an administrator you can always take ownership and then grant yourself permission OR backup the folders with the built in NTbackup and restore them to some other folder that you have permissions to and select the advanced option not to restore NTFS permissions. The link below explains how to take ownership and manage NTFS permissions though he may see that you took ownership and added your account with permissions. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308421 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308418 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u..._03july14.mspx --- basics of NTbackup.
