UAC & Shared PST File Permissions
I have just installed build 5728 on a dual boot system (separate drives). In
addition, I have installed Office 2007 Beta Refresh on both XP SP2 and Vista. Consequently, I would like to share a common PST file. This resides on my XP partition. With UAC turned on, I am blocked from accessing the common PST (permissions). With UAC turned off, I am able to access the file. Could anyone tell me what I need to do to access this file with UAC turned on? I would like to continue with UAC, but I need to have the flexibility to decide where my data is stored...

UAC & Shared PST File Permissions
it is not UAC that denies you access, it is the lack of permission
If you want several people to access something simple give them the permission to do so. "thomas" wrote in message ... I have just installed build 5728 on a dual boot system (separate drives).

UAC & Shared PST File Permissions
ok, but why am I able to access the files when I turn UAC off? Do the
permissions only kick in with UAC activated? This may sound like a stupid question - I am a total noob when it comes to successfully configuring permissions in Vista (yes, I have tried). Question to me is: how will the average user manage this complexity. I separate programs from data on different drives and do not necessarily store things where microsoft intended...

UAC & Shared PST File Permissions
when UAC is turned off you are an administrator always - so you can access
**any** file administrators can access. when UAC is turned on you are only an administrator when you explicitly consent to be one, everytime else you are just a user. So if you want to access anything, the user you are currently using needs the explicit right to access the file .
