File permissions

Recommended Posts

I have an odd problem with my Windows 2000 system.

 

On my other system, I installed a Mirai CD-rw with easy cd creator 5 platinum. without reading the help files, it's apparent system failure lead me to think the PC had crashed, irreparably.

 

In a panic, I physically moved the disk into my other windows 2000 machine, and copied all the files from that, into the admnisitrator account of that system.

 

While (after a little effort) I got the main system to boot, and the files, directorie were present and correct, and subsequently burnt to CD.

 

I then copied (right click copy) the files from the admin account into the user account (while logged in as admin - it can't be don the toher way as user has no access to admin). When re logging in as a power user, my standard account, the system reports an error saying I cannot access the files. I have checked all the permissions, have ensured the login is the owner of the "my documents" folder and have given inhertibable permissions on the top level folder containing the desktop, cookies etc folder, but it still produces access denied messages.

 

I can, however, create files inside of the my documents folder, so i ahve all the appropriate permissions on the structure, but perhaps not the folders themselves?

 

 

I am flumoxed. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

 

Nick
