Insufficient rights to open PST

[njem]

I rebuilt a system for someone because they had a virus. I recreated
the new user as an admin just long enough to set up their system.
Restored PST files, downloaded new email, all was well. Then I
downgraded that logon to standard user. Now when I run outlook it
starts to run but then complains that I don't have sufficient access
rights to open the PST file. I had to put the user back to admin level
to make it work. The PST file is where it should be, under the user's
own username\local.....microsoft\outlook. Surely outlook doesn't have
a problem running as a non-admin does it?

Thanks

Did you copy or move the Outlook.pst?

Copy - NTFS rights are created
Move - NTFS rights are preserved, likely file not owned by the user
Is the read-only attribute cleared? "attrib outlook.pst"

Run "CACLS outlook.pst" in that file's folder and let us know.

That was it. Copy versus Move. Gad, what an easy pitfall to fall into.

Thanks
