View 6 Replies View RelatedWith Window's 95 I liked the idea of the ''My Documents'' folder. However, when MICROSOFT dedided to make it a system folder also including other useless folders in it and making some of them system folders as well.I completly lost intrest in the whole idea and installed a second hard drive for the storage of all files I create. recieve, (text, video, sound, graphic, etc.), and deem worthy of salvation.So now I have a lingering annoyance. How do I delete all of the 'MY'' Documents folders? THe only ones I can delete keep coming back after a reboot or two or three or four
View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my Windows ME to Windows XP and somewhere during the process the 'My Documents' folder that we used to store all of our music, images and documents in has vanished.I suspect it was when changed the user accounts - I stupidly deleted the default account 'User' and created new ones for myself and my husband. I did a system restore which brought back the 'User' account, but none of the files.

I am guessing this is because i am not the owner of the files and folders. Is there away to change this because they are wanting me to get the pictures off as they have not backed up the latest ones.

I just recently upgraded from XP Home to XP pro, and some files from my old account lost ownership, I know how to take ownership and set the permissions for each file. But, I was wondering if there was a way to take ownership of all the files on the computer without having to do each one individually? I can hightlight a few at once, but all the files I need to take ownership and full control over would take a month. Is there any way to do it to all of them at once???

View 2 Replies View RelatedEver since I set it up I have not been able to access the user profile folders on the server.
Yesterday I had to get into one of them (A security issue!(another story)) And eventually I found out that the reason I was getting the message
'Access Denied'
Was because know one actually owned them. Once I took ownership of them, I could then add my user to the permissions list, and get into them. (I have to do this for every profile and subfolder in there.)
I did so buying a dell and also bought a docking station for the SATA harddrive so I could copy stuff on tothe new PC. My new machine runs vista (your rules forbid me to tell you what I think of Vista by now). Vista insisted on taking ownership of the files on the disk before it would let me touch them let alone copy them. I let it do its stuff and it changed ownership to the administrator on vista(incidentally the same username and password as teh admin on the old machine).So far so good but then a bit of good luck struck. A friend of a friend fixed the old laptop for me - it had been a blown relay and a faulty power supply. He fixed the relay and I ordered a new power supply. Beers exchanged hands

The disk has tons of bad sectors on it and I can't take it with me into safe mode so I can take ownership of it with the admin account. Any suggestions on how to get to my ntfs files without going into safe mode? In normal mode, I don't have an administrator account, just my account with my name which has administrator rights. I know the admin account is still there, but I can't get into safe mode with the ntfs disk.
