Re: Locked out of files

Two things happened simultaneously. One can't access my folders.
Example...I double click on a WORD file to open and a message comes
up saying "another user has this file open do you want to make a
copy?". If you say yes, it will show you the file but you cant save
it even under a new file name.

Try using the File; Save As again and give it an entirely different name.
What you explaind doesn't make sense.


It will tell you its "read only file".
The second thing is it appears that somehow an adminstrator account
is now controlling settings etc. I can't look or change user info.
etc. 2 key pieces of information. I am working on a laptop which is
not hooked up to a network and I had prior access to administrator
controls.

It sounds there like you have a limited account. Use the Admin account to
straighten things out or better yet, install Word to your own account.

Any ideas? I have tried just about everything.
