When you installed new windows over the old you are getting an administrator privileges, though, just create a password for your current administrator user, and try.\n\nIf not, e-mail me, your problem is Delicious to me.

If you were using windows xp, try to boot from windows xp CD.\nSelect repair option. It will ask Administrator password.\nAdministrator can access those files.

You can't grant a specific "computer" access to the folder, only users.\n\nAs the previous answer mentioned, you can create a user on that specific computer and give that user access to the share, there will be downsides, if that user ever logs off that computer and another logs on, the new user won't have access. Also, if that special user logs onto a third PC, that third PC will also have access.\n\nIf you don't need the PC for anything else, what I'd recommend is to create a special user account on the PC running the program, give it a password that only you know. Give that user account access to the share, run the program, and lock the computer. Noone will know the password to unlock the PC or log onto another PC with it.\n\nThat's about your only option.

Follow these steps to require users to provide a valid Windows user name and password to access a folder in IIS 6.0:\n\n1. In IIS Manager, navigate to the folder that you want to password-protect, right-click the folder, and then click Properties.\n\n2. On the Directory Security tab, under Authentication Options, click Edit.\n\n3. Clear the Allow Anonymous Authentication check box.\n\n4. Select and configure one or more of the other authentication options.\n\nYou can also configure password protection for individual files within the folder.\n\nHope this helps.  Let me know if this is the best answer.

It sounds like you have saved to a CD before and it's trying to save to the same location.  Try to save it and change the folder to one that on your hard drive

Right click the folder and go back into properties and uncheck the "share this folder" box. It is really that easy and simple. As the owner of the file you can choose how and when you wish to share. You can share for long enough to just allow somebody a quick peek or for weeks, months and years. Until somebody higher up in the company decides to take ownership of this file from you, you can continue to share as you please. It is possible though for your administrator to take over ownership of any file and folder on the network. It is not difficult to do. You would know right away when that occurred and most admins really will tell you what they are going to do before they do it, but it is still something he/she can do. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

By any chance did you make your folder private before reinstalling Windows?  I did the same thing and it took me awhile to figure out how to access the data.\n\nYou need to use Windows backup to backup the data and then you can restore it.  At one point, you will have the option to only back up the data or to back up the data and the security.  Only back up the data and then after restoring it, you will be able to access your files.\n\nIf you have XP Pro, then this utility is already installed.  If you have XP home, then you need to install it from the CD.  See the article below for full details on installing and using this utility.\n\nGood luck!

It sounds like his computer was infected with something and it only reacted when the password was changed.\n\nYou may try reaching Safe mode to remove the password and see if that helps. (tap/hold F8 at boot to reach safe mode)\n\nI would also recommend that the person attach their drive to another computer and remove any files they want to keep as he/she may need to reformat the drive (as a last resort).

As far as I know you cannot do such a thing.  But what you can do, is to share the folder that the file is in, but set the permissions of the folder (and files) to allow only a small set of users to access them.  This way, only those authenticated with a valid user/pass can retrieve the files.

no it isnt. restart in safe mode with f8 and log in a administrator (hopefully there is no password on that account) and go to user accounts and remove the password on that account.

I am assuming that your company used Windows XP Professional Edition. It cannot be HOME for one thing. Assuming your network administrator has everything setup properly, and if you have a password on your account and you need a password to login, then you are good to go. This means if you put your files in My Documents folder, no one else can access it. To ensure that no one else can read it, encrypt it using this method as described in this Microsoft Knowledge Base article:\n\nHelp keep your data safe\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/encryptdata.mspx\nThe article above describes how you can encrypt your files without installing any third-party applications. \n\nFor further assistance, go to:\n\nMy Computer Headaches YahooGroup:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/mycomputerheadaches/\n\nMy Computer Headaches Forums\nhttp://mycomputerheadaches.tz4.com

Can you set up an account on your PC with the original user name and password?  Once you created this account, login to your PC using it.  Then, you should be able to access the folder again.  Another thing, you should be able to access any folder if you have admin access.

You will need to take ownership of the folder/file you want to access.  See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823570\n\nOr, log in as Administrator (which means go in using SAFE mode if XP Home, or CTRL ALT DEL at signon screen if XP Pro) and you should be able to access them.\n\nTo see if your previous user(s) files are still present, open c:&#92;Documents and Settings and look for the user name you want to check out.
