Re: Denied permission to access folders

R

remon

Just wanted to drop by to say that the instructions and commands worked
beautifully.

I restored the primary [C:] hard drive from an old computer running
Windows XP to a new one as a secondary/additional hard drive on Windows
Vista, and got a "You have been denied permission to access this folder"
message.

Found this page via Google. Thank you, *Jimmy Brush*.


Code:
--------------------

- Click *Start*
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd when it appears and select *Run As
Administrator*.
- Change location to the folder you need access to (e.g. cd
e:\folder).
- Type: takeown /F . /R /A /D Y > NUL
- Press the Enter key and wait for the command to complete.
- Type: icacls . /grant Users:(OI)(CI)(F) /L /T /Q
- Press the Enter key.
--------------------
Should come in handy for future visitors. :)
