Re: Games missing from Vista Home Premium

Well, my security info is exactly like yours for the games FOLDER (admin and
users)

BUT i found out something really interesting by getting the properties of
each individual .exe...in the security tab it shows:

SYSTEM: full allows
Administrator: full allows
Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-37263439913....etc)

ACCOUNT UNKNOWN....but no USERS in the security tab...what the heck?
