1365499 2014-01-22 20:54:00 [QUOTE=zqwerty;1187409]From that link that Speedy posted there is this:



browse to C:\Users

Right click on the correct Users folder and select Properties.

Goto the Securities tab and click Advanced.

Click Change Permissions.

Highlight the Name SYSTEM in the User selection window.

Tick the box for 'Replace child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object'.

Click Apply.

A couple of questions, Firstly, where might I find "Users", looked but not found.

Secondly, quote " Right click on the CORRECT users folder". Using the word correct folder, implies there must be more than one, but
how do I decide which user folder to use ?

But... Thanks for the reply, looking forward to sorting out the answers to my questions and therefore solving my problem :-)

1365502 2014-01-22 22:47:00 Well I'd like to take credit but I made the suggestion based on reading and identifying that it may be a solution from the link that Speedy posted and then Wainuitech gave clearer instructions. zqwerty (97)
