| 94761 | 2002-10-31 02:00:00 | Help! I had to re install Windows XP Home edition, but a certain file of mine that was already on the PC cannot open. This file was the main file to my personal documents and settings, but I had a password logon to login to this file. I've tried all the basics but will not let me access, move or delete at all. It does not allow me to do anything under the security tab either. Is there any way to get around the security on this??? Iv'e also tried on DOS the following... CACLS My Documents /E /E /P Users:F CACLS My Documents /E /E /P Administrators:F CACLS My Documents /E /E /G Users:F CACLS My Documents /E /E /G Administrators:F From here I just get a respone saying... No mapping between account names and security IDs were done (The folder is still saved in Documents And Settings) |

| 94763 | 2002-10-31 03:36:00 | Bevan, If Merlins' information doesn't do the trick then use the CACLS utility from the command prompt. And I hope you DIDN'T try the commands you posted as such they are NOT what I wrote. Just to recap then: Click START | RUN and in the Run box type CMD and click OK In the Command Prompt window navigate to the directory where the file/directory is located. e.g. CD /D C:\"Documents and Settings" For the file/directory you are wishing to access (e.g mystuff) type the following replacing mystuff with your file/directory (note we will try the /C qualifier to override any access denied message) CACLS "mystuff" /C /T /G Users:F CACLS "mystuff" /C /T /G Administrators:F You need to be logged on as an Administrator user. NOTE: The help for CACLS is: CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user: perm] [/R user [...]] [/P user: perm [...]] [/D user [...]] filename Displays ACLs. /T Changes ACLs of specified files in the current directory and all subdirectories. /E Edit ACL instead of replacing it. /C Continue on access denied errors. /G user: perm Grant specified user access rights. Perm can be: R Read W Write C Change (write) F Full control /R user Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with /E). /P user: perm Replace specified user's access rights. Perm can be: N None R Read W Write C Change (write) F Full control /D user Deny specified user access. Wildcards can be used to specify more that one file in a command. You can specify more than one user in a command. Abbreviations: CI - Container Inherit. The ACE will be inherited by directories. OI - Object Inherit. The ACE will be inherited by files. IO - Inherit Only. The ACE does not apply to the current file/directory Post back here your findings Cheers, Babe. |
