OK I did that and I can see the files (I could not before) but I still can't open them. do I need to do anything else?
Thank you,
Hello All,
we had a 5-yr old W2003 STD file & print server that crashed on Thursday; after not being able to boot up I moved the files to a different server. The problem is that my 35+ users cannot access some or their files, when trying to open them the error: "The set of folders could not be opened. File Access Denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file: "Share\Filename".
I am a member of the administrators group and cannot access the files.
Help please!

you might need to take ownership of the files first as an administrator.
Then set the user permissons. Also select the box that pushes the permissions down the folder tree.
That should be it.
