I had installed Winability Folder Guard to protect work folders and files. I
had a serious hard drive failure (C: drive) and had to reformat the drive and
reinstall Windows XP and all programs. The protected folders/files were on
another hard drive. Now, while I can see the files I cannot open them. I
tried re-installing Folder Guard and using the same password but it doesn't
work. When I open the Properties window for each of these files the Read Only
attribute is checked. If I uncheck and apply that when I re-open the
properties window the Read Only attribute is checked again.
Winability support says that the problem lies with Windows; Windows is
protecting the files and I need to contact Windows Support to find out how to
"take ownership" of the protected files.
Would appreciate guidance on how to do that. |

hello Mellach2327
i don't know if what i'm telling you will help you resoving the problem but
you can try it if you want
you can open my computer --> tools --> folder options -->view then remove
the check mark on simple file sharing
then you can go to the folder you can't open and check it's properties, you
will find a new tab called security and it contains all users on the machine
with thier security attributes so try to apply full control to your user name
hint: this property won't appear if your hard drive working with FAT32 file
system

It doesn't sound like you are clicking the "Advanced" button and
changing the ownership and then "Replace owner on subcontainers and
objects". You need to do that and then give the new owner (which should
be the user account you're in) full permissions.
