Re: Access Denied even after Taking Ownership

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Correct! As I stated in my original post "Add "Mel" to the list and give it
full control."

Simply login as "Administrator" via Safe Mode, and then assign the
Permissions.

When I log in as Administrator in the Safe Mode, the only accounts
shown are "Administrator" and "Administrators"

The accounts for my wife and me are "Barb" and "Mel" and they don't
show up at this point. They only show when the computer is booted up
normally. How do I get these accounts to show up at this point in the
Safe Mode?

Thanks,

Mel

I have XP home edition. Does that make a difference? If so, what do I
have to do differently?

Thanks,

Mel

Mel,

Assuming Windows XP Professional:

Login as Administrator, and then access the Security tab for the Mel's
"My
Documents" folder. Add "Mel" to the list and give it full control. For
more
