Administrator Rights in Vista

by ddp095 . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

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.
