Denied Permission to windows.old files! PLEASE HELP!
When I try to access my documents in windows.old (to copy to Vista my
documents) I get the message: "You have been denied premission to access this folder" so I click the security tab and get "The requested information is either unavaiable or cannot be displayed" I am using the administrator account!

Have you tried going to control panel-folder options-view and selecting "view
hidden files". I was able to copy all of my windows.old files from Beta 2 into a new profile in RC1 by doing this.

No, that's not the problem; the files are readable all right, they're just
read-only. You can't rename them, delete them, overwrite them, etc. Even when I'm booted into Windows XP, I can't write into the system directory of my Vista partition.

Take ownership of the folder
Right click on the folder, properties, permissions, security, advanced, owner. "Zarel" wrote in message ... No, that's not the problem; the files are readable all right, they're just read-only.
