Re: User Problem

Well, I have run the gamut on your suggestions, but apparently I have not
been able to gain ownership of the key files. Several of the following are
for XP Pro only so don't apply. The closest thing is the suggested
kb308421. I have gone thru this, in safe mode, carefully, but after getting
into the Security tab, I do not see one or more of the request tabs.
Apparently because of this, I can get the hidden and protected files on my
own user name (still 'Owner") but that is all.

I took a shot at 'Unlocker" however I felt the documentation left a lot to
one's imagination, not good for me (I get nervous when I get a 'Fatal Error'
blue screen) but I will try that again.

Any additional thoughts would be appreciated.
Thx
Dave

I get the message:"Failed to set security on the destination file error.
Access is denied"
After chasing this a while, it turns out this problem may exist because I
have a new, and newly formatted, C:\ drive. I located a kb (lost the
number) that says to got to Computer Management and expand "Local Users",
which unfortunately doesn't appear.

Looks like this is not a new problem. I see shareware which presumably
permits these settings to be changed. Always makes me nervous, tho.

Any further thoughts?

BTW, kb 811151 address my basic problem exactly, only it doesn't work
because of the folder/view setting problem

Is this a limited user?

That does cause the new name to appear. Thank you. The object of
adding a new users was to transfer some files from the original user.
When we try to have all hidden and invisible operating system files
appear in order to do that, the Folder/View settings just revert to
default when we click Apply/OK.

How can we get around that?

Has the user logged on after the new account was created?
If not then do so.

New Users do not appear on Explorer under Docs & Settings. Is that
a problem?
