DO THE FOLLOWING:

open Command Prompt as "run as administrator."

Type lusrmgr.msc Return

you will get a GUI Local Users and groups. Check the Users node. Your sign
in name must be among users as default. So far so good.

Go to the Groups node, expand it. Look at the Groups. Double Click on
Administrators.

ADD yourselves to the Administrators group. Precisely as your name appears
in the Users group. It will not allow you to goof up.

Close the GUI.

Right click on your folder. Select Security tab. I am typing the rest from
memory, may miss a step or two. Add yourselves to the Users. First do Edit,
then Add in the next window.

Check Full control checkbox. Press Apply. Close that window. Select Ok.

From now on the whole folder and its subfolders will be your territory.

Greetings All, hope this is the proper discussion group.

Running Windows Vista Home Premium on a lovely HP dv2000. Like
it a
lot.
However, I've run into a snag. In attempting to access a folder
which
I've
had no trouble accessing previously. I'm told I don't have
permission
to
access the folder. I'm the only user. I am Administrator. I go
to
the
folder
properties to change the security settings. Under Current
Owner: is
listed
"Unable to dislay current ower."

It will not allow me to change the owner to myself (as listed
below
under
"Change owner to:"

I thought it might be something to do with it being a folder I
use
with
Expression Web, but I can't access the folder via Expression
Web
either. I
have been able to access some of the files through Adobe
Photoshop
Elements
6's Organizer by using the "Reveal in Explorer" function to
access
sub-folders.

I'm going to try to move these files from their current
location.
However,
I
am very interested in knowing how a folder could
"spontaneously"
become
"property" of an unknown user and how do I correct the problem
so
that
I
can
access it.

Thanx for any and all input . . . ;-} StrangeDze

Alex, attempted your directions. However, the notice opens in the lusrmgr and
says
"This computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium. This snapin may not be
used with this version of Windows. To manage user acounts for this computer,

I've already tried the UAC without success. I'm still baffled as to why this

Please let me know what the result is. I'm having a like problem
trying to get rid of Norton. Norton was uninstalled through the ADD/
REMOVE module, and also through the Programs section. However, I had
to restore the computer which put Norton back on since it was loaded
at factory. Now, I can't uninstall NORTON through normal procedure
and when I try to delete it otherwise, I'm getting the PERMISSION
DENIED message. Thanks...

Try this program its freeware and worked for me

Greetings All, hope this is the proper discussion group.

Running Windows Vista Home Premium on a lovely HP dv2000.
Like
it a
lot.
However, I've run into a snag. In attempting to access a
folder
which
I've
had no trouble accessing previously. I'm told I don't have
permission
to
access the folder. I'm the only user. I am Administrator.
I go
to
the
folder
properties to change the security settings. Under Current
Owner: is
listed
"Unable to dislay current ower."

It will not allow me to change the owner to myself (as
listed
below
under
"Change owner to:"

I thought it might be something to do with it being a
folder I
use
with
Expression Web, but I can't access the folder via
Expression
Web
either. I
have been able to access some of the files through Adobe
Photoshop
Elements
6's Organizer by using the "Reveal in Explorer" function
to
access
sub-folders.

I'm going to try to move these files from their current
location.
However,
I
am very interested in knowing how a folder could
"spontaneously"
become
"property" of an unknown user and how do I correct the
problem
so
that
I
can
access it.

Thanx for any and all input . . . ;-} StrangeDze

Please let me know what the result is. I'm having a like problem
trying to get rid of Norton. Norton was uninstalled through the ADD/
REMOVE module, and also through the Programs section. However, I had
to restore the computer which put Norton back on since it was loaded
at factory. Now, I can't uninstall NORTON through normal procedure
and when I try to delete it otherwise, I'm getting the PERMISSION
DENIED message. Thanks...

Bob, I still don't have an answer as to why the folder "spontaneously" became
property of an "unknown user".

Once you open the document with Elements save it to a new folder... for

Let us devoutly hope that in the 1874 days since the last post in this
thread the OP found a solution or outgrew the need for one.
