cannot locate files

[apertyx]

Good Day,

In the process doing a re-install of a W2K machine, I
copied the contents of My Documents, Desktop, and
Favorites folder to another machine running Windows Server
2003.

On the new machine I created the appropriate user, logged
on and copied the files back.

Logged on as the user, who is a member of the Admin group,
I attempted to open files in the My Docs folder. The
applications would launch, but I would then get a message
saying Windows could not locate the file -
C:\filepath\filename.

Logged on as the built in Administrator and could open all
these files.

Deleted profile and user, recopied files, same situation.

Any notions?

Thanks

Check your NTFS permissions.

Both the individual user and the admin group has full
control. The individual is the ownwer.

Note, the message refers to the file not being found, not
access denied

Start a Command Prompt, then navigate to the problem
folder and check if you can see the problem file. To navigate,
use these commands:

cd \
cd "Documents and Settings"

To list the contents of the current folder, use this command:

dir /p

To show the permissions of files and folders, use this command:

cacls.exe | more
