Angry Fire Win 2K Default User Folder Not accessible??

I have two Win 2K machines. One one of them under Documents and Settings the Default User folder is accessible and I can open and browse it. On the other machine, my main workhorse, that folder is unable to be opened even if logged in asa the Admin. It says Access Denied when I try to open it. I have tried resetting the permissions, safe mode, changing it from a hidden folder and NOTHING works.

Any ideas???

Under security\advanced, who is the owner? Try taking ownership of it while logged in as admin.

Thumbs up KHT! KHT! KHT! KHT!

That was the ticket!! It had set to deny Everyone and when I removed that it let me in!!

Funny how I was looking right at that and did not see it.


Thanks again!!!
