Windows permissions error

Greetings,
I have migrated from winxp to win vista and then win7.

Everything works but I have problems with permissions for documents. I keep getting error that i cant get access. I have admin status.

Thanks for suggestions.

go to the Local c drive  find folder users look for your user account then check the permissions on that folder.

Check that inherent permissions in not checked in the advance tab

ASKER

I tried everything. Nothing helps.
I tried with linux. I can see files then but even linux report security problems regarding permissions.
No ideas?
Is this computer part of a domain? or stand alone (Work Group) setup?

how many sub folders under c:\users\      ???

List them and post

were you able to perform the suggested steps - no errors, or messages?
nobus:
As I wrote I tried the suggestions provided and nothing helped. I still dont have access to the documents.
And as I also said I also used linux to access disk drive. In this case I can see files but I cant open them (permission error like in windows environment).

celjan79--
You did not give any to my comment.
See http:#a40715381

But you gave two Assists to Thomas Grassi ( trgrassijr55 )
Is that what you wanted to do?
I wanted to give every users that posted some help points.

 But no points were given to my comment.

Instead points for two Assists were given to Thomas Grassi ( trgrassijr55 )
This seems a mistake by celjan79
This was the solution that worked at the end. Other were good pointers.
