| 92680 | 2002-10-24 21:38:00 | Here's a strange problem. An elderly lady whos PC I used to look after has moved to Auckland (that's her first problem). I got her Windows XP Pro so that I could sort out here Software problems remotely. Her latest problem is with her floppy drive. When she tries to double click a: drive she gets the message "do not have access to the folder'A:\'. See your adminsitrator for access to this folder" Iny ideas? |

Try a formatted disk in the drive and see if you can write to it and read from it. You did say Windows XP didn't you?... then another possiblity is you may need to modify some keys in the registry (remove any possible Policy restrictions) Start Regedit and go to the following [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\ Now select and delete all the 'KEYS' that are there e.g. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Network ... Cheers, Babe. |
