I was able to get in to one particular folder after changing attributes to read only, &nbsp;However, the subfolder I am interested in is still blocked &quot;access denied&quot; and also reports &quot;folder empty&quot; on mouse over. &nbsp;I don't think it's an XP thing, I think the disk is corrupt. &nbsp;(Thanks anyway).

After my home XP installation crashed, I reinstalled to a new disk, hoping to simply copy &quot;My Documents&quot; from the old disk to the new one. &nbsp; I recreated an identical user ID and password for the new installation on the new disk. &nbsp;However, I am unable to access the &quot;Documents and Settings&quot; folder from the old disk (&quot;access denied&quot;). &nbsp;When I click on Properties for the folder, there is no Security tab with which to alter settings or somehow gain access.<br />

Any suggestions ?

After my home XP installation crashed, I reinstalled to a new disk, hoping to simply copy "My Documents" from the old disk to the new one.   I recreated an identical user ID and password for the new installation on the new disk.  However, I am unable to access the "Documents and Settings" folder from the old disk ("access denied").  When I click on Properties for the folder, there is no Security tab with which to alter settings or somehow gain access.

Any suggestions ?

reinstalled XP on new disk, access denied to &quot;Documents and Settings&quot; folder from old disk (user had a pswd)

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
