Hi,

I have in my hard disk a folder which I can't open... in C:\ I have a folder
called "Documents" and everytime I try to open it I receive a message saying:
" C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents is not accessible. Access is
denied. I'm running with full administrative rights but I still can't open
this file. Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks.

Hi Wes,

It worked! I started the computer in Safe Mode and I followed the steps and
now I have access again to that folder

Thanks for your help
Take care.
