Hi Vern and all, If Jeff's suggestion doesn't help then you might try changing/taking ownership of the folder. First log on to the computer with as a user with administrator priveleges and check that Simple File Sharing is disabled. Open Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - View - Uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing". Now change the ownership. I would just go ahead change the ownership of the entire Username in question folder as the Email folders and Favorites are in different folders from the Address Book. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and right click the folder/file in question. Click Properties - the Security tab - Advanced button - Owner tab - Highlight the username you're logged in as and check the box labeled "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". Click Apply and OK your way out. You'll see the computer changing ownership and when finished you should be able to access the folders and files as you wish.

You address book you should be able to do the same. Look on your new hard drive to see exactly where the folders are stored. Something like documents and settings\owner\your mail.

It messed up WinXP so bad it wouldn't start the computer. She took the RAM back and got new. She bought a hard drive and I put the hard drive in, partitioned it and loaded WinXP. I then added the RAM. I put the old hard drive in as a slave. We are now trying to import the OE6 address book and folders from the old hard drive but are getting "access denied" . There were two identities on the old hard drive but my daughter is using an administrator account and is still refused access. Any one know how to bypass the identity restrictions. But remember we cannot start the OE6 on the old hard drive. We need to access the files from the explorer window. I.E. the browse button on the import box. If I didn't make this clear please ask a question. ------------------------------ ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
