    Administrator Rights in Vista

    Locked

    by ddp095 ·

    Hello All,

    I am installing a new Vista machine on a primarily XP network running Server2000. I am running into quite a problem trying to migrate the outlook expres.dbx files to the Vista machine running Outlook 2007. The main crux of the situation is when I try to open C:\Program DAta\Application Data I get the ACCESS DENIED message even though I the user account does have administrative privilages. Also, I logged in as the administrator and met with the same results. I am aware that the locations of most of the XP folders (like Appplication Data) have moved to their new ones (i.e. Application Data moved to Program Data) but I am still denied access. All the permissions seem to be in place as they have remained unchanged from the XP config. I am struggling to find a way in. Any help would, as always, be greatly appreciated.

      in Windows Vista?

      the actual administrator’s account in Vista is disabled by default. The user account you create during the initial install of Vista isn’t an administrators account rather akin to a power users account.
