Thanks, but it took me quite a while to figure out that, before I could adjust these settings, I had to go to Tools | Folder Options | View and untick the box labelled, &quot;Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)&quot;.<br />
<br />
The system's still a bit of a mess, though. There's a lot more stuff assuming that link between Sign-on and &quot;My Documents&quot; than I'd have thought. Even installing software is a pain. It fails unable to create log files and such.<br />
<br />
Oh well, at least I know where to go to change ownership to get around all this.<br />
<br />
Thanks again.

My partner's laptop started acting up. (Every time it started booting it restarted the computer. After trying quite a few safemode fixes, I decided to re-install XP. All workes OK now except her files are not accessible. (She didn't enter the same username - I don't know if that would have made a difference - but trying to copy all her files from &quot;Documents and Settings&quot; gives &quot;Access is denied&quot;. What do I do?

Re-installed XP - can't access old files

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.
