View 1 RepliesI run a specific batch file at startup that attempts to copy a file to lace one that is under control of a running program. I get the messageThe process cannot access the file because it is being used by anotherprocess."How do I successfully write the file? I know that the way you are supposed to do it is to close the program, make the transfer then restart the program. But how do you do that when you don't know the programand you don't know how it starts in the first place.

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.

I have run Chkdisk with no problems detected.

I have recently reformatted my C drive and have now got windows XP pro and most of programs reinstalled, but I have encountered a very distressing problem; I have an Excel file that contains all of my user names and passwords for web sites, programs, hosting services� everything.But since I have reformatted and restored my programs and data I can no longer open this file. Actually I encrypted and entire folder containing this file and several other QuickBooks files. So I guess I really need to be able to access the entire unencrypted folder.The problem seems to be that I did not register my computer with the same name when I reinstalled windows and now I�m locked out of this previously encrypted folder, and, consequently this vitally important file!Can somebody please help me find a way to open this file.

OS is XP Home sp2. Stopped booting,with error message about missing files,e.g.windowssystem32cp_437.nls.
Repair did not work, so I ended up reinstalling XP, but in another folder, as I didn't want to lose settings etc.
In "windows2", when I try to enter My Docs., etc on "windows1" it says
"access denied". How do I get at "favourites, Docs etc on "windows1" I have heaps of genealogy files etc that I cant access.
This error? msg should be cause to sentence Bill Gates to life w/o parole @ hard labor + bread & water twice daily!
So why is access denied ? And how do I get access to delete the file ?
I was running an original Windows XP and had made my documents inaccessible to other users. However, a worm attacked my dll files so i reinstalled Windows without formatting my hard drive. As a result, my old documents are still in my C: drive and i can't delete them to make space.

If I try to copy music, I get Access Denied. I have file sharing enabled, have unchecked 'read only' in her files and still get the same message. I thought it might have something to do with them being iTunes, but I have tried Sound Taxi, Imgburn and a few others to copy or convert them and I get the same message.
View 20 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows XP Home, I deleted an old user folder (JAMES), and created a new one reassigning myself as the administrator. Upon deleting, I clicked on 'Keep Files', expecting a shortcut to be available on my new desktop. There is no shortcut.
If I click on Explore, then the old User file (JAMES) I get the following error message: "C:Documents and SettingsJAMES is not accessible. Access is Denied."
If I right click the folder, and click on 'Sharing and Security', it tells me to drag the folder to the .Shared Documents' folder, as I get an error message: "Cannot create or replace JAMES: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use."
In addition, any changes I make to the Properties tab (un-click 'read only', click 'Share this folder') do not get saved after I click on 'Apply'. I cannot find any other Securities tab other than th 'Sharing' tab available on XP Home edition.
Anytime I try to access a picture or a music file from my external hd I get this error (I'm running XP). When in safe mode I do not get the error. Help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post a logfile from a hijackthis scan in a second.

(gremlins I say) I try to log into my user account, but it says it does not have access to any of the files (like the desktop, c:/docs and settings/username/desktop)So is there a way to fix this, preferrably an app that will be able to rewrite the file permissions tables on a large scale?
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing:Win XP MCE SP2. I just set up an sftp server on one of my computers for remote backup purposes. I'm using openssh and cygwin to run the server so it can be secure and all that but I'm still a little paranoid about getting hacked etc. Since ssh uses windows users for login usernames and passwords I created a new user in the user group so it wouldn't have any administrative privileges. The way I understand is that if that user has some sort of ntfs file access restrictions then openssh will respect that and won't allow anyone logged on to the server with that user name to access any restricted files and folders. I want to restrict this user to have access to just ONE folder on the entire system. I don't want the user to be able to read or write or execute anything outside of its home folder. Since ssh respects ntfs restrictions i assumed that that would be the best way to do it. So if it is, what would be the easiest way to restrict access to everything but that one folder, and if that is not the best way then what is.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP, had to run a Windows repair. I am the owner / administrator of my pc. Since the repair, it seems I have lost ownership, permissions or attributes to my files. I will try to explain as best as I can. if I create a document and save it to an existing folder most of the time I can still access that <ocument. I have the same issue if scan a document, then save to a folder...I can usually still access but I never know, sometimes I can't. BUT, if I create a new folder and copy or move a document into the new folder I no longer have access to that file. Once the document has been moved into a folder I will get an error message saying Cannot access (filename). The document may be read-only or encrypted. I click on ok and a second message appears saying (filename) cannot be accessed. The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding, or read-only. I cannot figure out whats triggering it. Ive checked folder properties >sharing> some(but not all)of the folders have the make this folder private checked and I cannot change it. These seem to be the folders that are denying me access to my documents.

Recently I have had to reinstall windows, and I set up my users again, but I noticed that the old accounts were still there in windows explorer under documents and settings, even though they don't come up on the screen when the pc starts up. I've deleted three of them as they were just taking up room, but there is one left that I can't remove. A box pops up saying that it is unaccessable and access is denied.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy XP home edition recently crashed and I wasn't able to get it back up and running with the recovery disc. I ended up using another hard drive and installing XP Pro. I now have the original drive connected as a slave drive but I am unable to access the files I had in Documents and Settings under my user name. It gives me an "access denied" message when I try and open anything under user. When I try to transfer the files with the File Transfer Wizard, the folder comes up blank, but I know the files are there, one of the steps of selecting the files, shows them all there, but even when I select the files individually and transfer them to the C drive with the file wizard, they are not there.

It works fine when connected to a XP SP1 pc so I'm assuming it's a SP2 issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'll share what comes up when I right click Properties in each case:A file on a shared folder on my home Windows network that is being denied access to for copying. It is specifically this file as the other files are being read/copied wirhout issue. And, I can open this file on the computer on which the drive physically resides, just not copy it to the other machine. On right clicking file and getting the Properties screen - boxes for Read only and Hidden attributes are unchecked, and the only tabs available are Custom and Summary (no Security tab). An Outlook archive (.pst) that was created on computer A, which was copied on to network B (for backup purposes). Since computer A died, I need to open this archive, but on right clicking the file and requesting open with Outlook, I get the message: file may not exist, you may not have permissions, or may be opened by another user. Same situation on the Properties screen (except only other tab is Summary) as on the earlier point.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have several Administrator users. For each one I have set the username folder in Documents and Settings to allow network sharing including 'allow network users to change my files'. For all but one of the users this works fine and I can access and write files from another PC on the network. However in one case I can only read files and get the following message if I try to write: 'Cannot copy [filename]: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.' The settings appear to be the same for all users so I do not understand why I cannot write in this case. I've tried removing sharing then reapplying it, restarting PC, etc.
