Hi, could someone show me how to allow me (only user) permission to view a
folder (ie documents & settings, application data, etc.) I have unchecked
the box in Control Panel User Accounts, there is now a red shield on taskbar
warning of this.

But I still cannot even view certain folders. Attempts to import addresses
from Outlook Express to Outlook is unsuccessful also, 0 files are imported
(the Outlook newsgroup gave me the process).

I cannot even locate the folder that 'may' contain the .csv file that I
need. I used a memory stick that contains this .csv file but that G: drive
source didn't produce any files even though the .csv file size is 8.57kb.
I selected C: drive, end result was again 0 files imported.

On one of the warning Permissions windows, it states I should see the
Security Tab to fix this. That only pertains to that path to that folder.
I would have to make changes to every folder I want to open/view. And I
honestly couldn't figure out what to change. Where my name was shown, my
login I assumed, it showed Full Control.

Could someone show me where I can disable this security? I couldn't find
any further boxes to uncheck in the Control Panel in Windows Security
Center. Or should I be logging in as Administrator and how do I do that?
The only login icon I have available on boot is Mine.

Thanks for Any Help, Ideas or web page I could read to disable this
security. I read all the reasons why I should keep it. Now I want the
choice to disable it if possible.

Hi Katy, Not much help here..sorry :-( I'm having the same issue and am
waiting for someone to answer me as well. I do know that in Vista there is
nothing in "Doc and settings" it all in the "Users" folder off of the root C.
If you have found the answer by now I sure would love to here from ya :-)

Regards
Phil
