My Windows XP HDD..
My Windows XP HDD..
(OP)
(Appologies in advance for my stupidity in this area...)
My old laptop broke, so I scavanged the HDD for use as general storage and backup. But I can no longer get to some areas of the HDD because it thinks that I am not authorized.
Is there a way to unlock these directories or make it so that all users can access the drive?
Thanks,
groundhog

That's not a good answer!
I was hoping for some high level administrator thing...
Oh well.
Thanks for the help.
Hey one more question.
Can I load any applications onto this HDD and then take it to work on my other computer, and then run the apps there?
OR will the second computer's registry not recognise the apps?

If you have administrator privilege, you should be able to reset the security on different folders.

When I get a new computer, I make up a general user ID and I have an adminstrator ID. But there is already an admistrator in there. Who is that for and how do I use that ID? Is that administrator better than any of the rest?
