tried both no success..i noticed in security that all permission boxes are checked except 'special pernissions' and i can preview it when i open it up in the library but not as a preview when i select the 'upload option' at the website just prior to clicking 'upload'

well that sorta worked..i can access the files from my desktop but not in a websites uploading app...???

i noticed that in the files, under security that i have all permissions but ONE..."special permissions" wtf is that? and i want access! it's my computer damnit.

also i am posting a screen shot..can anyone tell me who all these users are on my computer?

thanks?

Sorry, I don't know any of those users, but that seems like quite a few there.

You don't know where they came from?

Memory thief,

Now here's a liitle trick to get rid of permission problems.

Fat32 doesn't have ntfs permissions.

Format a usb stick as Fat32.
Copy the files to the stick.
Now copy the files to a folder that you have created.

@ derekimo...no sir. i have no idea. it's a brand new machine. less than 2 weeks old. i found that as i was trying to as 'everyone' to user list. can i delete all those with out repercussions?

thanks

After looking at that again, It is actually more than just users, it's also groups and built in security principals so I wouldn't delete anything.





If you want to see all users look in C:Users like this,

Follow Derekimo's advice - delete nothing.

MS has all kinds of ideas as to what groups and users need to be on our computer. A system designed for those in a corporate setting.
