So I brought my laptop over from Germany a while ago and a few months ago the bf installed a new OS (Windows Nemesis 4 Titan Edition).

Now the OS works fine but I cannot access one... my folder whatsoever... I get the following msg:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\bella is not accessible. Access is denied.

There are other folders in "Dokumente und Einstellungen" (translates to Documents and Settings btw) besides "bella" and I can access them just fine! Just my folder with all my stuff.... music, pics, documents... is not accessible.

Whats wrong with it and how can I fix it?

Thanks for any help!

its a permissions issue. i use unix regularly and windows sparingly, so keep that in mind when considering my response.

youll have to switch to administrator mode or whatever kludge of a solution MS came up with to improve security, and change the permissions on that folder.

how many profiles are on that laptop and which are you using??

are you running any virus protection software on there?

can you right click the folder and go into properties ->the security tab, whats it say in there on both top and bottom sections??

Thanks for all the help, I fixed it!

Turned off simple file sharing in folder options, then went to security in properties of my folder and changed the owner. Somehow it changed to administrator and i changed it back to the right user.

But thanks again.
