I'm trying to open this file and it says I don't have permission. I had this computer set to open this with IE and it would .. every time.
I reinstalled XP because of a HD crash and I'm having all kinds of problems now.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks
I never thought about that . but ........... No, it wont open that way either.
I had no problems with this before. I could click on it, choose open and it would open.
It is a two step process to set the permissions for a particular folder. First you must enable the security tab which will not show up on XP at default. Then you must give your self full control of the folder which should extend that setting to all files in the folder.
//------------------------------------- Step 1
Navigate to the folder so you can see the folder do not open it.
On the menu bar select tools/folder options
Select the view tab
scroll to the bottom and uncheck use simple file sharing
Click apply
Click OK
//-------------------- step 2
Right click the folder and select properties
Go to the security tab.
If your log on name does not appear in the group or user names window you will need to add it.
Click Add
Type the log on name you use for the computer then click check names
It should append the PC name to your user name.
Click OK
Highlight your user name and check the full control box.
Click apply and click ok
The system should now have given you full control of all files in that folder.
double check each file and make sure you are assigned full access. it should have extended the permissions to each file but it also sounds like it is messed up
