Hello!
My wife's laptop died recently when I plugged in a USB device - a WiFi bridge. Fortunately I have back ups of the important documents plus I have been able to access the contents of the hard drive by putting it in a USB enclosure.
However, my wife had a lot of important dates saved on Windows Calendar and I did not realise that this data is saved in a folder within the AppData folder. Using CMD I can 'see' the folder and filees but if I try to copy the Users\Patricia\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Calendar\Calendars\General.ics I get the message "Access Denied."
Please can someone tell me if there is away to access this hidden file?
In Windows Explorer I cannot even see the AppData folder, even though I have set permissions for 'Everyone' to allow all interactions.
(I did wonder if I could boot my Win7 desktop PC and 'see' the old laptop operating system by changing the Boot sequence to select a USB drive - is it that simple if I plug-in the USB enclosure before booting up?)
I hope someone will come to my aid, and thank you all for any suggestions,
best regards to all,
Roger B
