Mostof the times when we try to open a few windows folder like Document and
Settings in Windows Vista you may get an error message as “Access
Denied”. This is a common error message in Windows Vista and
there is a very simple method to overcome this error.
The
reason the error message pops-up is due to the fact that you don't have
enough permissions to view the contents of the folder. Well, you will
need to change ownership of this folder to gain access.
Here's how you do it:
- Right Click on the Folder and Open "Properties".
- In the Security option select the Advanced tab and click the Edit button.
- Now
you can easily change ownership to your account by highlighting your
account and also selecting replace ownership to sub containers and
apply changes.
You'll have access to the folder. But the only catch here is that your
account must have "Administrative" privileges to do the above
operations.
