permissions issues
ever since a system restore had issues accessing things.
For example, in my contacts file i cant access the contacts details unless I mannually go in and change the permissions to allow me. I have 500 contacts and dont want to do this for all of them. also I often get a message "you dont have permission to do this" when elsewhere on my pc. How can I just set it onece and for all without all this permissions crap - I'm tired of it. |

why would i need to create another account when i already have one - can i just tweak it and be done?

No amount of "tweaking" is going to help if your profile has corrupted.

I dont know that it's corrupted but persistent permissions issues can indicate it's corrupted and the only way to tell is to try the suggestion I mentioned. It's the only fix as well (aside from backing up and reformating) but if you dont wish to try it, it's no skin off my nose.

The above link references Windows 7 but the same is true of Vista. And in the time you have spent arguing with me, you could have tried my suggestion ding dong. I wont be assisting you further. |

i'm not arguing, just trying to fix the issue instead of work arounds.
The link says dont try this for c: drive because it will screw windows. Are not all the programs on C? |
