Access to files in old user account still denied

[klzwicker]

I went through the "taking ownership of files/folders" steps
successfully, for the most part, and have access to at least half of
my old files in the old user account. Access is still denied to some
of those files, however, although I can see what's in the files, it
will not allow me to copy, transfer or delete other files stating
"access denied" - both are admin accounts. Any thoughts?

Sounds like File and Folder permissions issue now. Here is a KB article that
should help you sort this out.

Or you can download SunInACL from Microsoft and run some command lines.

SubInACL (SubInACL.exe)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...56-D8FE-4A91-93CF-ED6985E3927B&displaylang=en

SubInAcl is located in this folder "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools"

Open a command prompt window and type:

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools

If the folder you are trying to gain access to and move your files is
"c:\documents and settings\username" but you are getting an access denied
message then issue the following commands in the Command Prompt.

subinacl /subdirectory "c:\documents and settings\username"
/owner=YourUsername


subinacl /subdirectory "c:\documents and settings\username"
/grant=YourUsername=f
