  • Get access denied logged as admin, trying to get to My Documents - Windows XP

    I am logged as an administrator and my own documents folder.  I created a new folder and moved some files in the My Documents folder.

    Now when I try to open the new folder for the files, I get the access denied message.  I check the properties, and there is no security tab and show tab General information there are 0 bytes of information.  It seems that all information is lost for all the files that I moved.  How can this happen?  If the authorization allowed to me created a new folder and move the file why now is completely missing information?

    In addition, now I can't remove even the files that I created.

    Are scanned for viruses etc and everything comes back clean.

  • Restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP, I get the message: 'access denied '.

    Original title: restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP

    Recently, I acquired a virus with which Microsoft Security Essentials could not cope.  Then one day the computer refused to start.  I wrongly assumed that my hard drive was dead, so I installed a new HD and reinstalled Windows XP.  [Actually, I first tried the upgrade to Windows 7, because program upgrade windows 7 Microsoft has already said that my computer was compatible... but Windows 7 disk says otherwise!]  Then I tried to install the HD original in an another drive Bay and discovered it still worked, but I could not boot from it.  Apparently, the virus has killed the OS (Windows XP) but my files, programs and documents are still there.  The problem is that when I try to access my old "My Documents" folder, I get the message: 'access denied '.  I believe that this is because the files are stored in a password protected user account.  I know the password, but I do not know how to access the files.

    I tried to create a user account on my new HD (with the operating system Windows XP reinstalled) with the same name and the password that I used on my original (with the Windows operating system XP corrupted) HD to create all the document files.  However, opening a session with this account name and password did NOT restore my access to the My Documents folder on my original hard drive.

    I'm out of ideas.  Help, please!

  • Access denied on a "documents and settings" folder in windows 7 with administrator rights

    I get access denied on the ' c: \documents and settings "in windows 7 with administrator rights.  The icon shows a small lock on the (very cute) folder. Permissions indicate full control to the folder. I can only access the contents of the folder by adding it to the library folder. The computer is fairly recent and is very near of the original factory. Unlike my precious computers I left it mostly original except for the odd new program. I never really noticed when it pops up as I was getting used to format windows 7 and thought that it must be "the new way" to 7 " The disk has been partitioned by Asus, which significantly added to the confusion. Now I think that it why documents and settings would be in the same folder anyway?  What is a level administrator uber folder? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    "Documents and Settings" are not a folder - it's a junction Point.

    It is there to allow legacy applications using the latest Windows 7 folder structure.

    There is nothing in what you can use.

    Hi Haran,

    -What version of IPM in picture (paste the exact version of the link 'About', indicating the level of patch too)?

    -Can you confirm that the user has rights in writing at least one application - this should be at the level of Application and Document security.

    -Can paste you the complete record of the error here?

    -When you connect to the home page of the IPM console with this user and then switch to the 'Download the Document' tool, you are able to make a transfer operation?

    -He worked before? If so, she stopped working after you did some changes compared to LDAP? As the user base running an ldap directory to another?

    Kind regards

  • There was an error opening this document. Access denied.

    Greetings,

    When I did my taxes last year (March 2012), I downloaded PDFs of the IRS.  Form 1040 was an accessible file for writing, and I filled the need.  This file was saved on a Vista on XP machine.  A few months ago, I upgraded this pc for Windows 7 SP1.

    Today, I'm about to do my taxes for this year.  When I double click on Form1040.pdf of last year, I get the following error message:

    There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.

    Interestingly, I can open other files pdf, as the form 1040 Instructions.  I don't think I have my Form1040.pdf password protected.  The reason I think that it is not password protected is because I'm not be prompted to enter a password.

    I copied the file in an old detached machine XP (XP Home Edition, version 2002, SP3) I have and it opens fine.  He did not ask for a password.  I have printed copies of forms of year last of this XP machine, so this isn't an emergency for me, but it's slightly annoying that I can't understand what is wrong.

    I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.2 installed on two machines (the Windows 7 machine and the old XP machine).

    To sum up, it was created on Vista, I can't open it with Windows 7, but I can open it with XP.

    Normally I would consider loading the file in question, but in this case, I hope you agree that maybe it's a bad idea!

    Tips to make it work on Windows 7 would be appreciated.

    Access denied means that there is a kind of permission issues.  Check the permissions for your user id in this file.

    When you try to download a document online, how can I fix and message 'access denied '?

    If you try to access a document from someone from another site, and you get an access denied message, it is probably because you are not supposed to be able to acquire the file without getting several access permissions you have right now.

  • Problem opening of PDF files (there was an error opening this document. Access denied)

    Hi guys,.

    I understand that I will need to go through all the post before posting anything (and I googled and searched as well) but I really tried everything, they suggested in the mail but nothing works. I tried to reinstall the program it downgrade from version XI to 9. But really nothing works. I can't copy and paste else the file, the file will be having this error message (access denied), but if I copy/paste, it has no problem at all. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Furthermore, I use Window XP Service Pack 3.

    Thank you.

    Indeed, it is a strange thing!  The only difference between copy and paste and cut/paste is not the original file will remain or deleted in the original folder.  There will be no problem of permission using the two methods.

    Depending on your file system, you should be able to see the permissions of files by right-clicking on it, properties, and then select the Security tab.  See also http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/acl_set_per missions.mspx

    How do you open the file by double-clicking on it?  Is that what you can open the file if you open Adobe Reader first, open, and select this file?
