Hi

when changing the sharing options in Windows Vista Home. I am not sure quite what happenhere but now I do not have access to my own C: drive and or permissions to change copy or move anything on it. I have the user profile on this machine and it is set as the administrator and other one is Guest, I have also lost access to all administrative capabilities.

My problem is how do I fix this without losing all the files and digital
photos I just moved onto the C: drive.

Need urgent help to fix this issue.

Hello, I have the same problem that:

• C:\is not accessible. Access is denied.
  Also I have some more messages e.g.
• C:\windows\System32\cmd.exe The parameter is incorrect.
• Microsoft Feeds Synchronization has stopped working.
• Can't open access control editor. Access is denied.

I can't make Recovery Disc, take ownership, Share, access to my Local disc C:\, can't install anythig or delete anything.
I can only watch pictures listen music and watch some movies.

How can I fix this problem.
PLEASE HELP ME With ANY SOLLUTION.

1.First of all scan your system - we've make sure you don't have some viruses - because you've lost most administrative previlliges (and maybe much more) I sugest to burn live CD with antivir->Index of /devbuilds/RescueDisk/
2.If antivir nothing find download Process Monitor Process Monitor
run it;try do something which required administrative previlliges and you have trouble with it - of course it fails but now only going on to allow Process Monitor to see with that you have trouble; after save log as a *.PML file pack it to *.zip and upload it on Speedy Share - upload your files here because file will be to big to attache here normally

Thx verry much for this reply, I tried this several times but nothing worked ( Access denied all the time )

Try to turn on built-in Administrator account remotly (see post 2 from this threads How to Enable System Administrator
how to do it if you lost permissions) and then try to log-in bult-in Administrator account

Hello, Yeah I hope that it will work but another problem... I can't run Command Promt as Administrator. I am like a guest and I tried that Com.Pro. for both users it says access denied, Basically all where you need premission of administrator there is denied. I'm just don't know what to do.

Yes I know I very exactly remember you don't have access to cmd.exe and many others -> thus I told you turn on built-in Administrator account remotly (not locally!)
You have to boot DVD Vista,navigate to:

Choose language>>repair computer>>Command prompt

and type

regedit.exe

after running,click on HKLM hive on load SAM file from C:\Windows\System32 as (for example) REM_SAM and modify how I told you in my previous post

see also this thread (from post 17) Can't Delete Registry Key
on other example how edit registry remotly

I don't understand that when i bought PC... DVD didn't came with it.
I don't have DVD Vista

Probably you have only recovery DVD and recovery partition - from most producers they are really unuseful in these situations -but instead DVD Vista you can also use this special recovery disk->
Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download — The NeoSmart Files
Of course you have to burn it on other computer...
If you have computer from Dell or Fujitsu-Siemens you can use from them recovery disk because these producers gives full preregistered Vista.

Now go to HKLM\REM_SAM\SAM\Domains\Accounts\Users\Names\<user name> and read what is in the Type column by Default term



When i'm here there are Names e.g. Johan but on my screen is just Administrator and Guest - what I need to chose then ?
