My old XP computer broke down and I attached its hard drive to a new Vista PC. When I try to open a file in the old My Documents folder I get “Access Denied” or words to that effect.
Files in other folders can be opened as usual.
It’s a big problem as all my personal files are in the old My Documents. I’m the sole user, not on a network, and the administrator. I find I can change permissions on some files [with difficulty as it seems a complex area] but it would take too long to go through the whole folder laboriously doing this.
Is there a way of changing permissions on My Documents folder so that all contained folders and files may be accessed? I’ve tried to do this but the files remain “Access Denied”.
Vista Home Premium (32bit) seems to have too much security for someone like me. Does anyone know a way around this problem?
