    i use windows xp home edition. i had encrypted a few word docs and now i
    cannot access them as the prompt says that i do not have
    privilege/access is denied! tho i am the administrator and have complete
    right!!! then i noticed that there is a new account asp.net machine a..
    and it is on limited access. does this hv anything to do with my files
    being inaccessible. also when i tried to remove the password to the asp
    acount- the prompt said the following- "you will lose all your efs
    encrypted files..." so i panicked and did not change it; and when i
    tried deleting it - it said that the machine can save my docs etc into a
    new folder...

    when i right click and go into the properties of the docs - there is no
    tab that says security so that i can retrieve ownership of the file when
    i log on as admin... all i get is the encrypt option which i tick and
    then try to decrypt the docs - but am not allowed to as i dont have
    access... grrrrr...

    the docs that i have encrypted are worth 4 yrs of my life - my film
    scripts and so if i lose them i will probably die... so please somebody
    out there help me.... do i delete the asp account?
    is the prob due to the asp account?
    or due to some other reasons?
    HELP!!!!! [​IMG]

    Exactly how did you encrypt the Word files? (XP Home does not support efs
    encryption.) Did you use a 3rd party program, or do you mean you set a
    password in Word. What version of Word?

    It's doubtful that the the ASP.NET is related. This is created when the net
    framework is installed and you should leave it alone.

    No, asp.net machine account has nothing to do with the file access in
    this case.

    you should leave the asp.net machine account alone<!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue <!--/coloro-->

    If you have the savvy, then go to the Command Prompt and take file
    ownership.



    Also, I don't know why the Security tab is not showing for you, but if
    you ever get it to show, then simply go to the file or folder and add
    the 'Everyone' group account to the file or folder with full
    permissions. That should solve your access denided problems

    Addendum
    In XP Home, in order to access the Security tab, you must boot to Safe
    Mode.

    i went into safe mode and added administrator and yet hv not been able
    to access the files when i log back as admin. i think i maybe missing
    out on something... this is indeed a weird problem... and GTS i use xp
    pro not home... and the security tab does not come when i right click
    the file - only general properties appear, and then i can get into
    advanced properties... tried to decrypt as you can see in the pic
    previously but not getting access... [​IMG]

    Well, that admin account that you're using is not the admin account that
    has full rights. There is only one admin account that has full rights on
    Vista, and it's the hidden admin account, which the one you're using
    doesn't inherit full rights from the hidden account. The hidden admin
    account on Vista is the same admin account on XP that has full admin
    rights, but no other admin account on Vista can inherit rights from the
    hidden account, upon account creation, like it does on XP.

    The simple fact is that there is another user account on the folder or
    file that doesn't have full rights, and it's superseding your admin user
    account that is not a full-rights admin account.

    To circumvent the problem easily, one can put the Everyone group account
    on the file or folder with full rights and gain access, using a non-full
    rights admin account. Or one finds the user-account on the file or
    folder that is superseding the non-full rights admin account and make it
    match the rights of the admin account.

    i am using xp and not vista - i tried taking ownership as i said
    earlier... i have currently 3 active accounts on my machine (pic sent as
    ref) - admin, anirban (created as additional admin recently in my
    efforts to access the files) and asp.net. The anirban admin account i
    cannot delete as it says that i need to assign another user as admin on
    the machine before i can change the present to a limited access account.
    i dont understand why it is saying that when there is already an
    existing admin account - or then what is it? sorry for the bother guys -
    but being unable to access my files - its driving me nuts!!!

    Then why are you posting an XP issue in a Vista forum?

    In XP Pro if you don't see a security tab, go to Folder Options in Control
    Panel, View Tab, and temporarily uncheck "Use simple file sharing" last item
    in list).

    Apparently you did use EFS. Hopefully this is an ownership/rights issue
    and the above will resolve it.

    In the future, please post XP related questions to XP newsgroups.

    firstly i apologize for putting an XP issue on the Vista forum - in my
    panic i had googled - and this is where the search led me to... and so I
    was overjoyed and did not check the url - and that it did mention
    vista-help... so I am sorry for the inconvenience caused but thanks to
    both of you for all the help and support... will try the folder
    un-checking option and see. thanks.
