Thanks amazing how much you can learn my acutally reading!-- However, I now
have another problem. I tried to start up in safe mode and and I get a blue
screen after I press F8 that says please select the boot device: choices are:
SM-Sony DVd RW DW-414A, 1st Floppy Drive and PM-ST3160021A. I have tried
all 3 choices and the esc to go to default and it does not start up in safe
mode-- it just gives me the same sign on screen and no gray screen, no
indication of being in safe mode- so I'm guessing I'm not.
I have only started in safe mode a few times, and I am pressing the f8 key
upon start up, is there something I'm doing wrong? Yikes I didn't think I
was that dumb on this thing until today....

Ok - that does make sense, however, I'm pretty sure I logged into each
user
account (after temporarily resetting permissions to administrator) and
moved
the location of the my documents folder rather than doing it from my
account.
neither here nor there, how do I fix this? Will your link on taking
ownership of files do the trick or do I have to do the safe mode thing?
Thanks for your help I appreciate it.

When you moved the location of another user's My Documents folder while
logged on to your account you changed the Security ID (SID) for that
user's
My Documents folder, therefore that user's SID (which has not been
changed)
no longer matches their My Documents folder new SID. The SID was changed
when you moved it to the new location using your account.

Hmmm... explain this to me though. Prior to me moving the default
location
for my documents to the d drive, I had already moved several of their
larger
files including some documents and pictures to the d drive under
various
folders and they could save and change those documents just fine under
a
limited user account in that d drive. Permissions seemed to change
when I
moved the default location for my documents and then moved those files
under
the default folders created ie.e my documents, my pictures etc.....
I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
I was running low on disk space and changed the default location on
my
documents to my d drive for not only my user account, but 2 other
users
on
the same computer. Now when they go in to change/save something on
their
user account under their my documents i.e my daughter wanted to add
a
caption
to a picture in her My Picutres folder... it says she does not have
permission to save to this directory . Short of making these users
administrators (which I tested and it did allow them to make
changes)
what
can I do. I really don't want to make them administrators on their
user
accounts. However, I do want them to be able to make changes to
their
files
on their user account-- we didn't have this problem when before when
the
my
documents was at the default c drive location? Help. Thanks
