Remote Administrator Access
May 22, 2007
First of all, I'm running on XP Home Edition.Okay, so I have this folder. This folder has been edited so that only administrators can access it, and not restricted users. This works just fine but here's my problem: when I connect my computer to a second one, the admins on computer 2 cannot access this folder. I've tried for several hours to look for a way to add user groups and types from more than just computer 1, but I can't seem to do this. It's not a connection problem or because of any firewalls either; if I make the folder open for everyone the admin from computer 2 can access the folder properly. But then we didn't want any restricted accounts there.

The title says it all! Basically I have a comp running XP pro and I want to be able to work locally on one user account, with some kind of remote access server running on another XP user account so that the remote account and the local account can be used simultaniously. I know that this cannot be done with XP Pro remote desktop and could be by Windows Server 2003 remote desktop, but i need an alternate solution to make this happen.

Everytime I boot I get an "Administrator has prohibited access to CD/DVD DRIVES and removable storage devices" All of my USB ports and my CD are greyed out with a red circle and bar symbol. I am running XP Pro with SP3. I am the only user of this computer and I did not restrict them. I have gone in with the secret administrator account and it is also locked.

I am using Windows XP home edition and I have a family member who is also using Windows XP home edition. I would like to be able to access the family member's computer and do weekly maintenance. I would like to have the family member do nothing, but just have the computer started with Windows XP and be on a high-speed connection.

I need to access the Remote Console provided with the XP install disk, and I have a few questions about it. I am running Windows XP Home with SP2 and have recently been having problems with a vundo trojan. As far as I can understand, to get rid of the remaining files I need to install the RC from the Windows XP install disk. However, I purchased my notebook from Dell and it came with a CD entitled "Reinstall CD - Microsoft Windows XP Home Editiont - Including Service Pack 1a".I'm wondering if I can use that CD to install the RC. And I've read that the RC doesnt work with SP2, so should i Add/Remove SP2 before installing this?

Just tried remote access to another PC, first with UltraVNC and then with Windows Remote and I could not take control of my friends PC but he could take control of mine.Checked Firewalls....we both run XP both have Avast AV and he doesn't have any programs that I think would be blocking it.

An elderly friend of mine runs a business out of her house and when she was away, her partner came to her house and installed something on her computer so she could monitor what she was doing from her own computer. I'm assuming it's something like 'Go to my pc' etc. She's running windows xp and isn't sure what to do. Before I look at her computer I wanted to ask for opinions in case there is some kind of stealth software installed that would be difficult to find and uninstall.

I've read a lot of the comments already posted to this site about this issue so I wanted to thank everyone for their great contributions. My situation is a little unique so I have some questions.Here's what I want to do.I have 2 floors in my building, the first floor being the warehouse and the second floor being my office. I want to have a desktop on the 1st floor that will not move and a notebook in my office (2nd floor) that I will be taking in and out of the office, or working with when I'm not in the warehouse.The 1st floor PC will have Windows XP Pro (I'm buying it this week), the one on the 2nd floor has XP Home. Both should have identical copies of the software that I'll be using.

I am trying to remotely access drives from my one computer to my laptop in order to transfer files with more ease than running back and forth, burning, copying, etc. The method I am using is simple enough. The drives are set for administrative share [c$, d$, etc]. And I am accessing through the run command via \REMOTE_IPc$. I am definately pinging the computer correctly because a dialog box opens, however this is where the problem begins. The dialog box does not let me switch to an administrative account. It only shows "Guest" in the login name.
I dont have the guest account even activated on my main Desktop CPU and I wont have much access without administative rights. I was just wondering what could be making it so that I cant login under my main administative name. My desktop is using WinXP pro. Laptop is using XP home. Not sure if this fact matters but the desktop is using internet connection sharing that is feeding a router, which in turn is giving wireless internet to my home network wherein my laptop is connected. Also, I can access remote desktop easily enough but even with disk drives shared they do not show up on the remote computers "My Computer" folder.

I want to access my home computer via the internet when I work in my office. My home computer is behind a router. I enable the virtual server function of the router. How can I do next? I had installed the VNC/Netmeeting/Dameware in my computer. I knew the cable connection's static IP address and my home computer's virtual ip address.

I am running a small network of 10-15 computers all running W2K, XP home or XP Pro. We have one computer we use as a file share (W2K) and no servers and this seems to work well for us at the present time. As the administrator I'd like to be able to run scripts that will give me status on processes running on the remote computers. In particular, we are using Microsoft Backup to do our daily incremental backups for our one shared application. If a user remains logged into the app during the night the backup won't recover the open files.

I loaded Windows XP Pro onto 3 PCs and created an account for each PC named 'User' (current member of the 'Administrators' group).My problem is when I log off 'User' and attempt to switch to a different user, I am only presented with 'User' but not the 'Administrator' account (which is what I'd really like to log into).My objective is to remove 'User' from the administrators group, and manage the PC using the 'Administrator' account but I cannot do anything since I cannot log into the 'Administrator' account.

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.

I've been trying to help a friend by using the remote access feature in XP. We have tried several times but it keeps denying us saying could not establish connection after recieving the request in the email. We both turned off firewalls off and are both on at the same time. The only difference is I'm cable and he's dialup.

I have done some reading up on the internet, but I am still slightly confused about the full capabilities of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).I set my home desktop up to be a VPN server and connect my laptop to the VPN. Now, can I access my home network through any internet connection? Also, I use TightVNC for a remote desk connection. When I am connected to the VPN through any random internet connection, can I use this to remote access my desktop?

I turned on my computer and found out that my regular user cant access task manager/run or turn off the computer. i am the only user on this computer and there is no network. the user is listed as administrator and i can change/create/delete other users which i tried. i created an admin user and that guy could do everything except access other user files. i looked into Administrators group and both were listed. when i do ctrl+alt+del it says Task manager has been disabled by computer administrator. but there's no administrator. there's a win98 computer that's connected to this one. but it's only used for internet by people who call a browser the internet every time my computer boots up it goes to a bios where date and time are change to weird numbers every time

I was attempting to set permissions on my two NTFS formatted external harddrives and essentially deny users and guests the right to create/delete any files on the drive but I guess it somehow managed to restrict that right for EVERYONE. Not even in safe mode as the Adminstrator can I even look at the permissions and apparently it will not even allow me to open any files either. I cannot copy files to another drive and I cannot open or run any executables. Is there any way at all for me to reset the permissions for this particular drive or perhaps alter them to work the way that they rest of them work for me. I can't for the life of me understand how the Administrator cannot access the files on a folder and I don't exactly know what higher privileged user type exists. I really don't want to have to reformat the drive because it's got about 350 gigs of videos/music/programs.

I was reading Medicatedsoap's thread about freeing space on a hard drive, I too would like to investigate freeing up some space from the C:|RRbackups and C:System Volume Information folders. However, even after signing on as an administrator and unhiding the "Protected Operating System Files" in Windows Explorer (Tools - Folder Options - View), these folders come up as "Access Denied" both in Windows Explorer and Treesize. How can I get access to these folders?I'm running Windows XP Home sp3 on an IBM Thinkpad laptop.

I just recently tried making changes to the startup using msconfig to try to fix a different problem, and in doing so, came across another. Whenever I try to make a change to the startup, I get a "an access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an Administrator account to make the specified changes".
However, I am the administrator when I'm making these changes.
