Destination Folder Access Denied in SP1

Hi,

This is the first time I'm having this kind of permission issue on my Vista
Ultimate machine. I'm logged on as Admistrator account, I had my SP1
installed and running smooth.

Just recently, I trying to move one of my folder into the My Documents
folder (I had pointed the path to my other drive's folder), it said access
denied, I need permission to do that. I try to copy and paste, tried to copy
and paste on other drive, it's all the same, access denied.

This also happened when I'm copying files through network from my XP SP3
machine, ends up I need to copy via pendrive.

I did not create any new user for my machine, neither delete any user or
changed any permission in Vista, the most I have done was sharing folder and
unsharing a folder.

Please be adviced how to solve this problem.


Thanks.

Hello Stephen,

It looks like you are facing an ownership cum permission issue here.

Please try the following:

1. Right-click on the target folder and choose Properties.
2. Select the Security tab.
3. Click on the Add button and in the next box, type "everyone" and click on "Check Names".
4. OK out of that box.
5. Select "Everyone" from the users' list and click on Edit.
6. Give it Full Control permissions and OK out of the box.
7. Go to the Ownership tab and take ownership of the folder and its subcontainers if required.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I have about the same problem. I had Vista Business installed and running
fine with all kinds of programs installed (Office included) on my computer
but I screwed something up and needed to start over. So last weekend I wiped
everything and started over by installing vista again with SP1 (the install
went online and got it for me). Now when I try to install Office it tells me
I don't have the rights to change a certain inp-file. I go to the file and
make user I have the rights to it, and the "trusted Install"-profile does and
so does the Administrator-profile, but not the user profiles. And the boxes
are grayed out, so I can't change them. I only have one account on the
computer and it is an administrator account. Seems like SP1 changed something
for me... Thanks!
