file access

I'm normally pretty good at finding stuff on the net, with the right choice of Google search words, but this time I'm completely stumped and frustrated. Quite simple ... Server - Windows Server 2003 (Small Business Server, if it matters but I think its a Win 7 setting at fault myself) Client...

Part of my job involves taking images of many different computers using Norton Ghost and saving them to external drives. One of these drives is a Western Digital MyPassport that is soon being re-purposed. When taking one of the images with this drive I accidentally clicked on the System Volume...

Hi all! I'm having a problem with a Windows 7 Professional VM. I'm trying to "lock down" the permissions of some files (cmd.exe, ftp.exe, etc) For example, I modify the permissions for C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe so that only SYSTEM and Administrators have full access. I removed Users...

I'm new here, guys, so don't shoot me down in flames if this has been covered. I've checked the search, but didn't come up with anything the same. I've just re-jigged the Good Lady's PC - it had some sort of virus. Wiped it & re-installed Win 7 Pro. Put back most of the stuff that was there...

Yesterday, I just reinstall fresh windows 7. After I install the OS, I just realize that my recycle bin is empty. Before I installed windows 7, some of my deleted files on my other hard disk is there. But now, I could not find it anymore. After that, I tried to select show hidden folder, files...

Hi, I am new to this forum, so hope this is the right place to put my question. :) I am trying to run Access 2003 on a 64-bit Win 7 machine. All MDBs run very slowly, so I found a post on-line that said opening Access with "Run as Administrator" turned on helps. It does! However, when I open it...

The following problem has only recently become an issue. On our server(winS'08), we have a shared network drive that serves as a file dump. My winXP machines will post files in the share and I will attempt to access them on my win7 machine. Occasionally, the files do not show up instantly and I...

I stuck a compact flash memory card into my computer and it wouldn't see it. Somewhere I saw that the computer sees memory cards as drive K. It so happens that some time ago I set up a partition on the hard drive as K. I went into Disk Management and changed the letter to R, restarted the...
