Open The Folder Access Is Denied

Mar 30, 2006

I wanted to move a folder from one location to another.I cut the folder, went to the desired location and pasted it.When when trying to open the folder it said access was denied.I went to it's properties and unchecked read only, tried to open it again, access is denied.I checked properties again and read only was still checked.I then did a system restore to 2 previous dates.Both resulted in the folder going back to it's original location.I was then able to go into the folder but did not have access to view any file in the folder.

Error - Access Denied When Attempting To Open Private Folder

Jan 26, 2008

I have a new Dell computer with windows xp operating system. My old computer was a gateway with windows xp also. The mother board on the gateway crashed and I could not find a replacement thus I purchased the new dell. I extracted the hard drive from the gateway and installed in an external drive case. All works well and I am able to retreve data from the gate way hard drive with one exception. While the hard drive was installed in the gateway I elected to make some of the folders private, ie right click on folder, click on sharing and security and clicking on private. This worked fine in the gateway but when I installed in external hard drive I am getting an "access denied" error message when trying to open with the Dell.

Access Denied Onopening Any Folder.

Jan 30, 2008

I am using Windows XP Pro. I have three user profiles on our family computer. They all have administrator rights. On my profile when I click on the "program files" folder in windows explorer I can view all the program folders and files. When I go into the other profiles and click on the "program files" folder I get an error message that says "c:program files is not accessible. Access is denied." I know that in the past I have not had any trouble viewing this folder in any profile.

Cannot Rename Folder / Access Is Denied

Jul 22, 2010

The rest of the message says "Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not in use".In Folder:Properties, the file shows as 'Read Only'. Unticking this box followed by the option to do the same for all folders and subfolders, then using 'Apply' was unsuccessful, as when I tried to rename the folder after doing this,the message reappeared, and the folder was again 'Read only'.As Administrator, my understanding is that I have full permissions under the Security section of Properties, which appears to be the case, as all boxes are ticked.The path is as follows:- C:FOLDER:Sub folder 1Sub..1 cannot be renamed. It contains four additional folders, (each with loads of subfolders),of which 3 can be renamed, whilst the fourth one cannot, with the same "Access denied..." message appearing.

Cant Access Folder - Access Denied

Apr 11, 2006

Files on my second hard drive were shared on the network (level 4, Network users could only read) and primary hard drive was reformatted and Windows XP sp2 was installed.(without the files being unshared) Now when trying to access the files the error "Access Denied" occurs and I cant access or delete the files (would really like to recover the data about four years worth of work taking up about 75% of the hard drive)

I am the Admin, and I can't change any of the folders propertys as I again get the "access denied" error. I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this, this is what I found from MS help (not very helpfull)
A file's permission may differ from the containing folder if one of the following conditions is true:

Access Denied To Docs And Settings Folder For Administrator

Jan 15, 2007

I have a Dell 4600 with with 769MB Ram and Windows XP Pro. My XP boot sequence got corrupted (according to Dell) on my "C" drive. They wanted me to reformat the drive (and lose all my work). Instead I installed XP onto my secondary drive and nenamed it "C", set up a special partition on my secondary drive to receive the old files ("D") and renamed the "bad" drive to "G". Though I can access/copy most files from "G" onto "D", my "Documents and Settings/Administrator" directory on "G" (not password-protected, but contained a lot of files) are all "access-denied". I can't open/view these files on "G" or even copy them to "D". If I try to open them, I get a "files inaccessible, access is denied" msg.

"Access Denied" On Documents And Settings Folder

Jun 18, 2005

My computer died so I took the harddrive out and put it in my other computer as a second drive (not the drive to boot from). Now everything under the F:Documents & SettingsLen" directory cannot be accessed. If I look at the "Len" directory and all of it's subdirectories on the second drive "Make this folder private" is not check so I don't understand why I can't read it. In fact the "Make this folder private" is not checked. If it helps any the drive is an NTFS drive.

ICANNOT ACCESS ENCRYPTED FILES - Access Denied

Jun 1, 2007

I did a terrible mistake today. Typically I install XP in C drive and keep My Documents folder in D drive. All of my hard disk drives (except the linux partitions) are NTFS. I encrypted the My Documents folder and all of its files and subfolders.Today I reinstalled XP in the C drive, after a quick format on it. I was unaware of the fact that what might be happened to My Documents folder. Now I can only view the files and folders inside My Documents folder. Neither I open any file, nor I decrypt those files. Windows is saying access denied.

Access is denied. It's the "C:Documents and SettingsOwner" folder

It has all my music, videos, photos, & work for things I do in it. I can get into my 'WINDOWS' folder and 'Program Files' but not that.

Access Denied

Dec 1, 2006

My computer started acting up. I ended up having to do a system recovery. When I did this though, it deleted all of my names (User accounts). In Windows Explorer I can still see them though, and even access the old files of that one.

Now, the main user account I used on this computer needed a password, so I assume that is why it is giving me an access denied message when I try to open it.

Is there any way I could be able to see these files? As I said, the accounts are erased from the main welcome page, so I wouldn't be able to click on it from there to type in a password.

Access Denied

Sep 8, 2005

I had to re-install Windows XP Sp2 and I'm having a problem with the mailboxes and other files in my Eudora directory. Eudora is receiving access denied to the mailboxes and I cannot rename, copy or move the email box files with Windows Explore. I get an "access denied" error.

I've tried using an app to remove controls from the files but it says they aren't being controlled by another program. And "properties" says they are NOT read-only.

File Access Is Denied

Jan 30, 2008

Failed boot and inability to read the file system from a boot cd.

I did a chkdsk /r on the drive, and the file system is back. Ive also done a pass on the drive with a virus scanner and noticed a folder C:Program FilesCommon FilesServices" with the all of the files consisting of randomly generated executable names (514 in total), refer to attached text file for full list.

In explorer, the files show as green.

The problem is the virus scanner logs the file as "access denied".

The file initially had security permissions set to everyone with write only and the owner was some wierd clsid like object.

Access Is Denied - Cant Reboot

Jan 12, 2007

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...ighlight=joono that ended in the conclusion that the offending copy of XP was pirated. I know for a fact that my copy is legal, I got the discs it direct from microsoft, so that should not be an issue.

I did the SP2 install thing and after about 20 minutes I got an 'Access is denied' error after which the removal wizard unravelled everything and I was back to square one. After a bit of research I came across http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873148, which looked promising, and followed the very clear instructions as far as step 2.e. but I cannot find an error that looks like the one illustrated.

I have windows XP home and I created a limited access account in windows so other people can use my pc and not change any of the config, but when I log on to the limited access account, I get many many times the ERROR Access Denied.

The problem is, the error message doesn't specify what programs are trying to load and are denied. Is there way I can see which programs the limited access account don't have access to, and grant access to the ones needed?

Access Is Denied - When Opening .msc Or .msi

Dec 25, 2005

I have no idea what may have caused this problem, but recently, whenever I try to open a .msi installer file, I get an access is denied message. This happened a couple of weeks ago, and I left it alone. Now, I just discovered that when I open a .msc file (like services.msc), I get the same result. I went back to that same installer and the same thing still happened. And right now, I just recalled that the same thing happened with .log files. I just tried to open one and it wouldn't let me. Anyone have any idea what caused this or why it is happening? I couldn't find any help on Google or on previous posts.

No matter what I try, including printing out all the help steps and doing them, it seems to be about to the half way point when I get a message that says 'Access is Denied' and it stops
installing.

My Documents Is Not Available - Access Denied

Sep 9, 2005

I have a friend using WinXP SP1. They had a problem and the Computer would no longer boot up. Had to do a fix found on KB Site that copied "WindowsSystem32ConfigSystem and 4 other files. The computer then worked again as before, however it overwrote something, and the user can see all files on system, except the original "My Documents" folder. When I Click on it, it says a message along the lines of "Access Denied" I forget the exact error message. The other thing that happened is that none of the programs are available any more. eg: Office Products show Icons, but are not available to use.

How can we get the files in this folder back. It is the only Folder that is important, and the data will be copied to a CD and then I will have to format and reinstall all programs.

Okay, yesterday I downloaded 12.2MB .msi file for ActivePerl(Used for interactive Perl AI Bots), I got it, put it into My Documents and had to go to sleep after 30 minutes of downloading(Dial-up, gotta love it). Anyway, I got up the next morning and much to my dismay I got an error message saying "C:Documents and SettingsSammehMy DocumentsActivePerl-5.8.7.815-MSWin32-x86-211909.msi.Access is denied."Anybody know why this could be happening? The only idea I had was that I downloaded the wrong file, but I wanna be certain before spending 30 mins downloading again.
