The owner probaly made all his folders private. Almost all computer administrators do that. To make folders private, folow the folowing steps.\nGo to a folder you want to make private.\nGo to sharing and security.\nThen click on the box next to Make this folder private.\nPoof! You can only see it.\nNintendo DS Guy!

you probably don't have the correct program to view the file. Check the Microsoft website to see what you need to open it.

Try to go to slow mode.  When you reboot, just as you see the beginning of your screen, start tapping the F8 key rapidly, keep it up until you see the cursor going on and off in upper left corner.\nOnce you start to see the page fill up with various options, use your up arrow key and go to Internet connections.  Press enter.\nPress enter at the next window.  When option comes to select Administrator with your cursor.  That will open another window that says you may not be able to view all things.  Is this OK? Select "Yes" then let your computer go into slow mode.  Your desk top will  not look the same, but that is okay.  Just as long as you connect to the Administrator you will be okay.  You can move\nto the area where you were denied entrance.  I have done this on several occasions, and it worked fine for me.\nGood luck!  Hang in there.\n\nDr. DDS

This may be because of some changed settings, check where the settings are stored. normally it will be in c:/documents and settings/yourusername/application data

To access this drive, you will need to change some settings. BY default, in Windows XP, the security tab for a file system is hidden. You will need to unhide it through Explorer>>Tools>>Options>>View. Uncheck "Use simple file sharing(recommended)"\nNow, right click on the inacessible drive and select properties. Select the security tab. Click advanced.  Click on owner. the rest should be clear.

If you cannot access msconfig then perhaps you need to try this.  \nTry the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files.  Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

Go to C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/History and clear all files over there. This will help you out.

Your better off to backup all your files and create yourself a  new administrator account, and delete the old one. Thats what I had to do.

Need more info for the question.  What version of Windows are you using?\n\nIf you are using Windows XP, you can go to the Control Panel, and open User Accounts to edit your account.  Set a password for your account and don't give that password to anyone else.  Be sure to write down what it shows for your username though.

Try here...\n\nC:&#92; Documents and Settings&#92; owner&#92; Local Settings&#92; Application Data&#92; Microsoft\n\nThat's where mine is.

Your employer has restricted your access so that you cannot change it - just ring the help desk and explain the problem to them.  They should be able to reset it for you - its no big deal.

Possiblities include, you turned off a required Windows Service (which is doubtful since you are not seeing a message telling you this but its possible), or you are using a non-legal copy of windows and in that case you need to dload the Genuine Advantage patch from say eMule for this months patch so you can get access to dloads. ;)

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

depending on where your file came from, you can try to go back and see if theres a password.\n\nIf you got it orm a friend, they may have forgotten to include the pw\n\ntry googling the file, or going to downloads.com
