Remotely Changing Permissions
Nov 13, 2008
We have a user that went to grant someone access to a folder on the network. They did this from there desktop, not the server, and now no one can access the folder. Not even an administrator login. I'm assuming they got the warning about changing permissions remotley, but he swears he didn't see anything like that. Now we have a couple of users that have icons that don't work because they're coming from that folder.Any way to change those permissions back? I know the permissions default to something.

The other day, I moved some files+folders outside of a folder just to organize things. I tried to put them back inside and I kept getting the "Cannot move file, it's being used.." error. I was pretty sure I wasn't using any of the files so I checked the permissions to find that under the security tab, inside the "Group or user name" was completely empty without any user names. I fixed it by adding my user name. This has happened before. A few months ago, I couldn't access any folders and files in this one particular folder without getting the "Acess denied" message. I found out that all my files and folders within that folder had no user names under the security tab which was a pain because I have over 100s of files in there and the only sure way to change the permission is to do them almost one by one.
I was wondering if there were any particular reason why it's doing this. I'm pretty sure that this computer is virus free and I almost never turn off the "Use simple file sharing" under the folder tool section. I've only played around with the permissions once over 5 months ago and I haven't touched it since. Also, is there a way to change every permission within one folder so that I won't have to do them manually one by one?

I recently had a Windows XP HE crash that caused me to reinstall the application. Not thinking, I created a new domain name and user name for myself during the setup.
When I tried restoring my Microsoft Outlook 2003 files to my machine from a Novastor 7 backup, the files
restored, but I only get "Access Denied" messages when I try to access them in any way. I'm assuming, because of the the old permissions.How I can regain access to them?

I run Windows XP Home Edition. I have recently installed an Apache server, and have my website running from my computer, but have a few problems. I want to install vBulletin, but it requires me to change the permissions on a file from 644 to 666. I know you can do this over FTP or UNIX, but how would I do this on Windows XP?

I recently switched all the workstation at my work to restricted or power users,. And almost immediately everyone was complaining their computers were way slower. Logon is slow. Programs open and react slow. I swapped a few back to administrator permissions and they said it improved their performance as soon as they logged on. I searched and searched and found no good info on why this happened. Everyone is running HP DX2250's with 2Gig of RAM, XP Pro SP3, Office '07, IE8. Microsoft updates are all up to date as of a few days ago. All the computers are networked to a Windows 2003 SBS Server.

I have set up another user on my computer. They have a restricted account. But I would like to tighten it up more. When I look at the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) I don't seem to be able to specify a single account. Is there another Policy editor for individuals or is there another way I can restrict what a person can do?

I am trying to move files from my old XP computer (to be called OLD from now on) to my new Vista computer (to be called NEW) over my network. In some folders, there are some files that don't have the correct permissions for me to move them. I get this message on NEW when I try to copy them over: Destination Folder Access Denied You need permission to perform this action
The folder that these files are in on OLD has the correct permissions set, but for some reason some, not all, of the files within it have not inherited the correct permissions level. I can't figure out how to change the permissions level of these individual files. When I right-click on the problematic files in OLD, I do not see a Security tab.

Having Notebook with XP Pro, latest updates and service packs on it, running on a network with several other computers running XP also. I used to be able to use Remote Desktop Connection to log into it and do maintenance, then Log Off. Now it has stopped allowing me to Log Off. I can click Start, Log Off, then it asks me if I'm sure, I click "Log Off", and that box goes away, then nothing. Its like I never requested to be Logged Off.

"Connect network registry" But when I do that, it says access denied. So I googled it and it says I need to turn on: "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer". But I can't because I have the login/logoff problem where as soon as I log in, windows logs off. how can I enable this feature using the Windows xp recovery cd

I has 5 computers with windows 2000 pro. Their is no "server" only peer to peer
network. I want to be able to get 2 private ip address at my home to allow a data and an ip phone connection. Would a VPN through cable modems work well for this? Or my other option is to use a wireless bridge, my home is about 1.5 miles from the office but has several trees that may block the signal.

pc one plus and a Media pc two. Both running XP Pro I can connect and control the media pc using remote desktop no problem. The trouble is that when I exit from remote desktop the host pc is left in screensaver mode, and when I log on again, which is a bit of a pain as I like to hide the keyboard behind the telly. I do control the media pc quite regularly to load music files

I'm attempting to remotely connect to a laptop running Vista, and I'm using XP. The problem is that I don't know how to do it. And She can't access the internet from her system. She has contacted her internet provider, and they have assured her that everything checks out on their end, but she still can't connect.I was going to remotely download some software from my computer and send it to hers.

I don't understand why, but my computer is turning itself on! Just now - 6:08 PM, PST it turned itself on. Could it be someone controlling the computer remotely? Could it have to do with "Hibernate?" Usually I use "Hibernate" to turn off the computer.

Host PC is XP Pro - I can remote in OK the problem is more printer related. I have printers shared on the remote options as well.At home the client has a PSC 2650 HP printer connected. When remotely connected the printer does not show. More than likely on a DOT4 prot.I have the home PC printer pooled to LPT2 and the DOT4 port. On the remote (HOST) pc, I have installed the printer driver, but with no printer actually connected I can't get the printer to show in printers.

I use remote desktop to remotely control our lab pc, which is connected to a camera. We want to remotely control the camera to take pictures of what is shown on that monitor facing the camera and connected to the lab pc. Now the problem is: when I do remote control, MS XP always show a blue log-on screen on that remote PC. That's bad because we want it to be able to show some pictures.

I have Fedora Core 6 and use KDE.Is there a way to see permissions by using the command line, so you can see the results of a "chmod" command? I know you can see permissions by right clicking the file in Konqueror.

There are 4 accounts on the computer, all administrators. Of the 4, only one account has access to everything. The other 3 accounts all have Access Denied pop-ups when trying to open any file on the C: drive.
I tried rebooting in safe mode and logging in as administrator to see what the security settings where. After looking there I found out that all 4 accounts have full rights to all folders, sub folders, and files on the C: drive.
