Folder is not accessible. Access is denied.

You just bought a new Windows 7 machine and transferred all my files from my old XP box.  When you try to save an email (using the first class), I get this error message when you try to open My Documents.

Just guessing, but I think you had a different username and your old box then click your new. That's why the 'My documents' folder belongs to a "different" user You can easily fix this by taking possession (if that's the problem).

Right click on the folder 'my documents '.
Select Properties
Click the Security tab, and then click the Advanced button
Click the owner and see who is the owner. If this is your account name, check permissions (should be anything but special). If it is not you, change the owner of your account name.
Check the permissions to make sure that you have everything.

When you have transferred all courses, has created a new documents folder? If that were the case, you will want to make sure you that take possession of those that you are interested in.

If my assumption is wrong, please provide the error message and the location of the folder 'My documents' you try to save in.

    Hello Urbchguy,

    Thank you for your message.  It is possible that the profile has been corrupted.  Let's try the following:
    Connect to your computer with one of the admin accounts that works properly.
    Click 'Start' > click 'My computer' > navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Documents and Settings
    Rename the problematic profile to add _old after profile.
    example: C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith_old
    And then disconnect and reconnect under the problematic connection.  A new profile will be done, you can then copy the 'old' profile data to the new.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve the problem.

  • < drive >: \ is not accessible. access is denied.

    Hello

    I created a VM installed vm tools. so I decided to add a disc more to the system (windows 7 x 64 bit).

    When I format the drive. disc is created and formatted normally but when I want to access it, watch somehow I have no right.

    user with which i m trying to access is domain administrator and UAC is disabled.

    I deleted this record and created another, same scenario. I can't access the created disc.

    any ideas?

    Since you in a field, there are group policies restrict your access?

    Perhaps you could use diskpart to verify if the drive is in read-only mode?

  • Drive external drive is not accessible, access denied.

    My computer (Win7 Home Prem) ran chkdsk after an update of windows, probably triggered by ccleaner or glary utilities. My external hard drive was plugged during the update, reboot and chkdsk. The chkdsk command probably checked my coz external HD, I can see folders/paths that were there. The next day I couldn't access my HD due to a mistake, saying: it was not accessible and access is denied. I searched online potential solution and tried the following without success, and they have been applied using an admin account and an admin cmd.

    * Change the permissions and ownership, but the property always says it's impossible to determine the owner.

    * Changed the share permissions.

    * Do you have 'takeown' and a 'icalcs' has changed owner but same error.

    * Check the disk management, drive seemed ok with the letter drive and all.

    * Ran chkdsk /F on both of my C: drive and external hard drive, both completed successfully without error during the analysis and not found bad sectors.

    * Program of Unlocker used to check if player was running another process, found nothing.

    In my computer, it shows the letter drive and NTFS, but not bar showing free space. Properties would show 0 free space / used. Here I can go to cmd and access the content from there. I used the function of 'Explore disk' of glary Utilities and I could see the content and even run mp4/avi files in the player. So I guess the drive and its contents is ok, just that I can't access it through normal means.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi LeBlanc,

    I apologize for the late response and can certainly understand your concern. I appreciate your efforts. As you mentioned that you are not able to access the external drive, and you receive the error of access denied when you connect to your user account, I suggest to try to create a new administrator user account and then try to access the external drive.

    To create a new user account, please follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  • I can't reinstall firefox, I get the error 'Could not load profile' and not a solution I found works. / Appdata/roaming/mozilla folder is not accessible.

    I'm on Win7 64 bit. Initially, I uninstalled because a program has changed my page of the new tab to something unwanted and I literally had no way to change this back. Now, every time I reinstall, I get the error "cannot load the profile, it may be missing or unreachable", and I can't create a new profile. Whenever I try to any method of opening the profile editor, I get the error 'Could not load profile' then too. I can't access the folder in/appdata/roaming/mozilla at all. It is said it is accessable and access is denied, and tries to remove it tells me I have not permission (even if I'm the admin). No other difficulty I saw worked. Can someone help, please?

    I have done a virus scan, cleaned up one piece of adware, rebooted, and it worked all of a sudden. I don't know what exactly caused to start working, but he did, so I consider this issue closed.

    I see this as a problem in general with the file panel, not only with the import.  It's probably a problem with the component that we use and the magic that makes windows 7 with the My Documents folder.  You must also have a folder of Documents shown in this dialog box.  The Documents folder must be the same as the My Documents, but you should have problems of access to it.  I am filing a bug.

  • Scan to folder is not accessible

    My HP 8500 recently packed.  I uninstalled the printer from control PANEL and manually delete the SCAN TO FOLDER I had configured on the DESKTOP computer.

    I then bought a new HP8600.  The 8600 works very well with scans for designated folder, etc.

    My problem is that I continually get an error in my bar of STATE SYSTEM, informing me that the "SCAN to FILE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE".  I'm guessing that some system calls are made in the background looking for the old 8500 SCAN on FILE that was on my desktop.

    Can someone help me with this please

    Hi doughheads,

    I recommend to open Add or remove programs in Control Panel and make sure there are only installed nothing yet for the 8500 JO.

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence
