Access denied to NTFS user folder

[QBoB]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.server.general,microsoft.public.win2000.advanced_server,microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Thanks for reading. I have a user folder that I am unable to access, delete
or see any security settings on. Whenever I try to access the folder I get
access denied (through local admin, domain admin and user). I am assuming
somehow this folder has NO permissions in the security and that is why I am
unable to get to it. I have tried deleting from command prompt and tried
taking ownership and resetting permissions, all of which are met with
"access denied". Any thoughts on how I can get into this folder to change
permissions or just to delete it? Thanks!

The System account may have access.

AT HH:MM /Interactive CMD.EXE /K
where HH:MM is 1 or 2 minutes in the future.

When the CMD window opens in the System context, =use it to start Explorer or CACLs or subInACL

Things like *that* are why I read newsgroups like this.

So many valuable tips can be found and filed away for future
reference.

Rob,

Haven't seen you in a while! Where have you been? (or have I not been
looking in the right groups?)

I've been here in m.p.win2000.general and a few of the other W2K
groups, just not as often as I used to be in the NT4 groups.

I seldom have questions to ask here, and when I have an answer
for someone else's question I usually find that others have
already answered it - hence most days I just read in this
newsgroup without posting anything.

As well, lately I have been spending a lot more time with both
the x64-XP betas and Linux than I have with W2K.

And I'm finding Linux to be quite a chore and it is taking a lot
more of my time than I thought it would. :-(
When I think about it objectively I realize that Linux is not any
more difficult or complicated than Windows - it is just
different. My problem is that I have 20 years of DOS and Windows
habits that are getting in the way of learning how to do things
differently.

Thanks Rob, the system account and your instructions worked great.
