Hello, recently uninstall Windows 7 to re-install xp for some reason, well my old user account password windows 7 not even had much less some sort of encryption, I mean the main library folder "documents" now that I try to access this folder from xp I get an access denied error not to do and are very important these documents help. I see no action to unlock and I already went crazy.

Take ownership

Right click properties>securities> advanced>owner.

You are not currently recognized due to the change.

Hopefully it is done the same way in XP, this is the Seven procedure.

If the situation were reversed, I would say to use Takeownership, but I don't know if that would work in XP or not? Try going to the main folder of that directory and changing the permissions to your XP account. Be sure to check the box for applying those permissions to all child files and folders.

How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP

Procedure for XP
Click to expand...

This is more of a question that a statement. I remember reading here where someone said that ownership and permissions being two different things, that simply having ownership isn't sufficient to eliminate all access problems...true?
Click to expand...


Yes that is true, and if it is the case here, getting permission will be easy enough

right click, properties>security>ownership

I think that a bit more complete path would be Properties>Security Tab>Advanced button>Permissions tab>Change Permissions button>Add button>Advanced button>Find Now button>Select user>Press OK>Select Permissions>Press OK>Check Inheritable Permission...>Press OK, then OK and OK again.

I correct my prior statement; ownership was an inadvertent slip, agreed it should be users.

but I will acquiesce to your procedure.
