You Have been denied permission to access this folder

Post by mavengroup »

I have 2 Windows XP Pro tbi images (v2.73) that I can successfully mount as a drive letter on a Windows 7 PRO computer system

I can access all the files except for those in the Documents & Settings folder. When I try to access I get the above (subject) message.

When I try to use the security tab on the folder to change the permissions I get the message that the drive is read only.

None of the other utilities that I can normally use to get access work (Take Control, Security Tab set to everyone access, etc.)

How can I change the permission on these folders so that I can access the files in the image?

Thanks for the help.

You can try elevating the file manager you're using or open a command
prompt (right click, run as administrator) and should give you access. If
you use windows explorer, it's hard to get it elevated as if there is any
instances already open, it will continue to use whatever level that was
opened at, if you run an app with a file/open option, you could use that as
a mini file manager. You can always use TBIVIew to extract items out too.
