Re: Reading file of old user

Before I made a format and reinstall of my disk, I made
a full backup. Now I want to read a file from the backup,
it works all right to fetch it but I do not get permission to
read it.

The file is
C:\Documents and Settings\oldlimiteduser\Application Data\
Mozilla\Firefox\ Profiles\cwpkviuz.default\bookmarks.html

but I only can see the grayed-out
C:\Documents and Settings\oldlimiteduser
directory. (If I check properties, I can see the size, number
of directories and nuber of files.)

How can I get the bookmarks.html file?
I know what user name (oldlimiteduser) and password I
used but I do not know how to use them to get at the
file.

Not much use to make a backup if you can't read the
files, is it?

No, there isn't, but all you need to do is to seize ownership
of the folder to solve the problem. Click Start/Help and look
for help on "Ownership" if unsure how to do it.
