"Access Denied" on Documents and Settings folder.

My computer died so I took the harddrive out and put it in my other computer
as a second drive (not the drive to boot from). Now everything under the
F:\Documents & Settings\Len" directory cannot be accessed. If I look at the
"Len" directory and all of it's subdirectories on the second drive "Make this
folder private" is not check so I don't understand why I can't read it. In
fact the "Make this folder private" is not checked. If it helps any the
drive is an NTFS drive.

When I click on "Properties" on the subdirectory I don't have a "Security" tab.

Hi

Go here http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_home_sectab.htm
& read Doug Knox's article about installing the the Setup.inf you need,
once installed you can see the security tab in folder properties without
havingto boot into safe mode.

Regards

The article gives instructions about disabling "simple file sharing" in XP
Professional. You can't do this in XP Home, so you need to boot into safe
mode with that version of Windows XP

Obligatory safety alert: Don't full-share *all* your drives, because
you expose integration points (C:\Autoexec.bat, C:\Boot.ini,
"C:\Documents and Settings\*\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp"), that allow
malware to drop straight into the startup axis.

Sure, passwords may block this, but why risk it if you can avoid it?
Any system already authenticated to access the share is wide open as a
malware donor, no matter how limited the user rights may be.

"Why do I keep open buckets of petrol next to all the
ashtrays in the lounge, when I don't even have a car?"
