Windows 7 users / locked the folder my documents (junction point)

I use Windows 7 and have just loaded Microsoft Office on a new laptop computer and when I try to set as default file locations in "Word" it tells me that I can't access name / my users/user documents, when I look at the way it shows a lock on the file. I looked a few answers to this problem but do not understand.  There are two users on the laptop and everyone can see other files, but not their own, in other words when I am logged in, I can see other users ' users / folder my documents but not my own and vice versa. " The result is that when I try to save a document using "save under" it comes up with access denied to folder. I know that I can choose where I want to save my colleague he needs to record simply in his papers when she was on but not save must start looking for the complete path.

Location in C:\Users\registration by default defined \Documents.  Do not use the 'My documents' folder - it is a junction point and should not be modified or used by users in some way.

If you have any other questions on-site Office, please post on the Forums of office to the:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeinstall/threads , where the experts at the office will be happy to help you.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'my documents '.

    I recently upgraded to vista XP, I can't locate the contents of what was in the folder 'My documents' anywhere. When these files is passed or they deleted in the upgrade?

    In the Security tab, add you in its own right. Go to advanced and control who has access.  Add yourself (if not there) and delete all others.  Then come back and go to the tab of property and take over the case.  Here are a few tips and information on permissions and provides which may help.  But take courage - it seems that we have to fear that found the lack of file and it should be as a matter of time before we can access despite the problems affecting permisions them.  You will have to perhaps give you all the rights and take in hand the folder of the user himself access - but let's see if it works this easier way first (or if it does not, we invite you to try to change the property on the users folder and the permissions, even if she is used to.  In this case, do remove other USERS from the permissions section.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

    I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
    Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt

    I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
    Is it possible to recover my files?
    Thank you

    Hello

    MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

    Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

    You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

    Good luck!

  • Install the folder my documents and libraries on data instead of SSD disk

    So, recently I bought a new SSD, installed and put Windows 7 Home Premium on it. After the installation of the OS, I installed my 500 GB HARD drive. I have planed for the SSD for any operating system + some apps I want to open faster (Visual Studio, Unity3D, etc.). All of this worked properly, except that the folder my documents is on SSD, but I want that it is located on the given HARD disk drive. How would I be able to move these folders?

    Thank you

  • How to save a pdf file in the folder my documents when you are printing from Explorer?

    I often need to print Web pages to PDF and save them in the folder my documents.  Until a few weeks ago, it was no problem.  About three weeks ago I started getting the following error message every time I print a Web page in Internet Explorer when the selected printer is Adobe PDF and when I try to save to the folder my documents: when printing to PDF on a Web page in Internet Explorer, I can not save to my documents folder.  I have an error message "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval. "Now, I must save the new pdf to my desktop and then transfer it to the documents folder, which is a waste of time and that clutters my office.  How can I fix it?

    This problem does not occur when printing to pdf from other browsers, but I have to use some Web sites that work best with Explorer.  Even if in the Solution Explorer, I can print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, and save the document to the my documents folder without this error message.

    OS is Windows 7

    11 the Explorer

    Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    Try disabling Internet Explorer protected mode and let us know if that suits him.

    To disable the protected mode:

    1. open Internet Explorer

    2 - go to the top gear icon on the right

    3 - click on Internet Options

    4. under the security"" tab.

    5. uncheck the box that says "Enable Protected mode"

    6. click on apply and OK

  • How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

    It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

    Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

    Entered in chronological order? Do you mean to read in their chronological order?

    There is more than one way to sort the display of documents, but the
    more easy is to fashion Details, then click on the header of the

  • Lock the folder structure in Windows Explorer?

    Greetings,

    I work in a large group of engineers to access the servers shared with complex file trees.  Using Windows 7, 8 and 10.

    Is it possible to lock the file tree structure so that cases move?

    It is not uncommon for a user to work quickly, accidentally retrieve a whole folder, move their mouse and drop it in a different location and not even realize that they had done.  There is a period of panic, wondering how a whole folder got deleted or moved followed relief when (if?) he is once again.

    We must be able to lock a folder tree without affecting the access and permissions applied to these folders and files in them.

    Is it possible to do?

    Ask users to work slowly and methodically doesn't seem to be an option :)

    Thank you

    Try to change the permissions on a file to see if you can find a way.  Right-click on any file, choose Properties, and then select the Security tab.  There are also advanced features.

  • Moving files in the folder of Documents using the Finder

    I have a lot of individual files in the Documents folder in OS X El Capitan. I made files in the Documents folder, I would like to move these files. Now, looking at the Documents folder in the Finder, it shows all the files in the Documents folder, sorted by type, whether or not I've moved into my new files.

    I don't want this 'virtual' representation - I want the files to be moved, and I see them again, unless I click on the new folder, so I can sort them.

    I'm sorry if I'm not this clear, but if you could help I would appreciate it.

    Looks like you set an Arrangement on the folder when you may have been trying to sort out the window.

    Arrange by groups the files and folders on the criteria you choose, as type. It will put them all within a section of the window depending on the type of item it is.

    Look at the View Menu, arrange by and set it to None. If it's not, try to post a screenshot of what you see.
