Can't access my files. to open local files, but none showed

I moved my profile to a HD with more space (and one that has been shared on my network) because I had too little space on my boot drive. Now, when Thunderbird opens, I get a screen with a tab saying Thunderbird Mail - local folders, but the folders pane is empty. The settings for this account seem to be all correct with good addresses for profiles and mail. I thought that maybe there would be something wrong in prefs.js. There is no file prefs.js on one of my drives and none on my backups going back a full year.

How can I get Thunderbird to access my e-mail?

You can try this... do the profile.ini point the file to the new location of the profile.

see section called Modify profiles.ini to point to the new location - Advanced   at this link:

    I have created my user access on Vista as administrator and load programs, files and doc files to my hard drive.

  • Deleted too trying to kill a virus - now can't access .exe files.

    I was infected by a virus "Vista Antispyware" that blocked practically everything (cmd, taskmanager, all Web sites).  I got taskmgr opened with a Ctrl-alt-del and tracked the problem down to a file named gbj.exe, restarted and opened in the safe with command prompt, use attrib to remove the system attribute and display the file.  Another reboot and I deleted the files in the window of the 'user' / appdata/local directory.  I think that I missed when I deleted all the files in the directory ' local/temp', because I cannot now open all .exe files.  When I try (even to click on the explore) the system prompts you to "choose which program to use to open this file"... If I choose Explorer, he circled back and asked again (and again...).  If I select "Search for the appropriate program on the web", need me to "shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=exe" this does anyone know how I can replace everything that I deleted, so I don't have to go through this every time to get on the web?  (Once I'm on the site of 'shell' I can just type my destination in the address bar - but what a waste!) (by the way - it get rid of the virus)

  • Can't access the files from the HARD drive of any account on the windows computer 7

    Hello

    When I tried to connect my Western digital external hard drive to a 32-bit desktop P 3 with a Windows XP SP1, then this HARD drive is not detected. Then I tried to copy his WD driver ITS a USB Flash drive, then isntalled all the WD HARD drive was always plugged into my computer. After that, the HARD drive was identified by computer and appear in my computer. As I thought that this folder has been created by the installation of the driver, did not exist on my HARD drive before connected to the desktop computer.

    When I plugged my WD HDDagain to my laptop HP with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit and I tried open this folder, and then the main folder only opened without facing access denied, however, access to all of its subfolders, and the files inside it has been declined.

    In addition, althoguh the username admin Curernet "Mohammad" can open the folder of human "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50", as shown in the screenshot above, it can not access all of the subfolders, files in the main folder, and to access, I will need to use the scecurity tab. Thus, it would be absolute nonsense, if I want to have access to all of the subfolders, I will need to use the security for each tab.

    How do I gain access to all of the subfolders with use of the Security tab once the time (i.e. as long as all subfolders are inside the main folder, then simply use the main folder security tab?

    As long as the current username "Mohammad" can open the folder of "83f04ce083fb03083bb88e50" man, "Mohammad" is so allowed system to have access to the main folder as shown in the screenshot above, then I think that the username 'Mohammad' will have to reach all subfolders as well. However, when you try to open any subfolder or file, then the current user 'Mohammad' name could not have access to all of the subfolders in the main folder and all subfolders or files opening gave me this error below (screenshots below)

    I tried to remove this main folder, however, each time, I found myself with a loop "you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

    Original title: file access denied

    Groan.  It is so easy to fix, and you should have gotten a lot better support now.  Surprisingly, the worst suggestion came directly from the "Microsoft Support Engineer" Reda Singh, his suggestion potentially compromising the security of your computer while doing absolutely nothing to solve the problem.  Fortunately, it seems like you didn't do something quite right and so the script was not run.

    First of all, let me explain why this difficult access occurs in the first place.  Originally, you had three 'users' granted access to training, SYSTEM, Administrators, and MohammadSYSTEM allows Windows to read your disk, and retrieve things like its label.  It can also allow your antivirus software to access the drive.  Because this OPTION is enabled, Administrators is not accomplish anything, even if you are an administrator.  As long as this OPTION is enabled, this permission only works for programs, that you manually raised to run as administrator.  This leaves access to the drive depend on the last entry, Mohammad.  The problem is the SID behind Mohammad is only good on the computer, it was created, so if you connect this HARD drive on another computer, no access is allowed!  Enter the security on the other computer dialog box, you can either see something "could not read permissions" or you will see the SYSTEM, directorsand a third entry with a long series of numbers.  It's your first computer Mohammad , and it will not work on another computer.

    It is not surprising that you're facing this problem because you are using the drive on multiple computers, which is running XP that is not UAC.  Here's how to unlock a storage drive (in Windows 7) so that it can be normally accessed in any PC without any permissions problem:

    1. Press [Windows] (or click on the circles to start), and then type "user account control".
    2. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
    3. Drag the slider to "never notify".
    4. Click [OK] to confirm the changes and restart your computer.
    5. Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the affected drive, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> owner (tab)-> [change].
    6. You should be on a dialog box that asks what you want to change the owner.  Click on Administrators.
    7. Check Replace owner of subcontainers and objects, and click [OK].  Windows should start processing all the files on the disc.  This may take a few minutes.
    8. When it's done, click [OK] to close the property message and then close out of all other dialog boxes.
    9. In Windows Explorer, click the drive affected again, and then click Properties -> Security (tab)-> [Advanced]-> [edit permissions].
    10. Now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , click the button [delete] repeatedly to remove all permission entries.
    11. Add SYSTEM and grant full control.
      1. Click on [Add...].
      2. Type 'SYSTEM' and press [Enter].
      3. Check full control in the allow column and press [Enter].
    12. Add Administrators and grant full control.
    13. Add users and grant Full control.
    14. In the dialog box Advanced security settings , you should have three entrances of permissions: SYSTEM Administratorsand users, all granted full control.  Check "Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable from this object" and click [OK].
    15. Click [Yes] to confirm the replacement of permissions.  Again, Windows start to process all files on the disk, which may take a few minutes.
    16. When he finishes, close to all the dialog boxes and check that all records are now accessible.  You may have to refresh (or close and reopen) explore to see the changes.
    17. Assuming that it worked, we will re-enable UAC to reduce the vulnerability of temporary security, that we created earlier.  Press [Windows] and then type 'user account control '.
    18. In the search results, click on "change user account control settings."
    19. Drag the slider to the position below the top (position #2, by default).
    20. Click [OK] and restart your computer.  Now, the files remain accessible.

    This should straighten the permissions of your disk storage so that you can use it again.  You may need to empty the trash on this drive after changing permissions.

    Don't do this procedure on your C:\ drive, it will seriously reduce the security of your Windows installation.  This is for the readers of storage only.  If you need access to a specific file that you created to C:\, you can safely do the steps above on this issue, but never on the C:\ drive itself.  Please note that when you perform this procedure on a folder instead of a hard drive, you will need to replace this step #10:

    10. now in the dialog box Advanced security settings , uncheck the box "Include permissions can be inherited from the parent to this object" and click [delete] to confirm.  If some permission entries remain, click [Remove] until they are all gone.

    The concept is the same in Windows Vista, even if the exact steps differ from the foregoing at least Windows 8.  In Windows 8, you must also disable UAC with a registry tweak because, unlike Windows 7, UAC remains on even when the value of "Never notify", giving rise to all sorts of problems in Explorer tries to work with file permissions.

    Oh and to answer one other question I saw you ask from the beginning: this folder of the .net Framework was created by .net Framework Installer.  He breaks all the rules and frustrating unpacks his junk everywhere where it feels like.  I got it decompress on a front SD card, making the installation would take forever.  After installing the .net Framework, you probably disconnected the drive before restarting your computer, so these files let me.  Or the installation crashed and started you again.  Meanwhile, installs the failure left its Temp files behind.  It was supposed to remove the folder when the installation is complete.  You can remove safely as the folder manually.

  • Premiere Pro can not access your file preference.

    Hello. I just installed Premiere Pro 2015.3 and am getting an error that I was getting with the previous version. When I start the program I get this:

    "Unable to load third party audio plugins Premiere Pro can't access your Preferences file. Your user account may not access, or the folder may have been set to read-only. Please check your permissions and try again. »

    The program opens, but does not have the 'ok' button in the preference window. It is not grayed out or anything - I click on it and there is no answer. I have to click Cancel to exit the window preferably. I guess that's due to the error of file preferably.

    I am logged in as an admin user, and trying to correct the situation I manually reset the permissions on the files in ~/library/application support/adobe/first pro and documents/adobe/first pro (I have no adobe tagged ~/library/preferences folder) to read and write for all users. Nothing has changed. Then I used the tip alt + shift while opening the program. Nada. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program without result. Someone at - it ideas?

    I'm on a Mac Pro Yosemite 10.10.4 running end 2013.

    Hi jasonc3424121,

    You have selected the option to keep the earlier version of Premiere Pro installed?

    It is strange that you don't have the Adobe preferences folder. Rename the Adobe to OLD_Adobe folders instead of reset the permissions.
