Pegasus,

Thanks again for your continuing assistance.

You wrote, in your most recent two posts, that:

"The only requirement is to set appropriate permissions for the CWLee
profile folder. In the hands of an experienced person this takes less than
two minutes."

(and)

"you ask a computer-savvy friend to assist you. Keep in mind that to
resolve this problem would take him less than two minutes."

Do I understand that what you mention above involves "editing the
registry" which you are "reluctant to do in view of your limited PC
experience."?
*** No, permissions are set at a file/folder level, not in the registry.

If you can recommend a good book on the subject, perhaps I'll find that
book and take it with me on my upcoming trip. Maybe I can learn whatever
it takes to use this two minute approach to fixing the problem.
*** Terribly sorry but I can't. Most of what I know I learnt
*** by various means other than books:
*** - Training courses
*** - From colleagues.
*** - "On the job" training.
*** I even wonder if it is worth your while trying to acquire
*** these skills. They are a system administrator's skill and
*** a home user would need them very rarely - which means
*** that he would forget them quickly due to lack of practice.
*** Just because I could fix your problem in two minutes does
*** not mean that you could learn these skills in two minutes . . .

*** If you still wish to go ahead, start a new thread in this
*** newsgroup and crosspost it to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
*** You could choose a subject such as "Basics of NTFS permissions
*** and how to set them".

Thanks again.

*** You're welcome.
