| | Access to files as an administrator I am editing videofilm with Pinnacle studio 11 ultimate with Windows Vista home premium. No problems here - until I restart the task and try to continue my work. In the act of trying to fetch the recently file, I get the message that I do not have any access to the file in question and that I have to ask the administrator about it. The thing is that /I am/ the administrator and ought to have full access to everything. The help menu in Vista recommends me to log on as a standard user. Then I just have to insert the administrator's password when I am dealing with files which only the administrator has access to. I do so by making another "standard user" which is myself, using a new name, new password etc. But when I try to open the file, I am not able to insert any password as it just tells me that I have no access to the file en question. So to rephrase: 1. I have logged on as an administrator with full access to everything in Windows Vista home premium 2. I am thereafter trying to get a certain file from the computer 3. I am denied this access as a pop-up menu tells me that I am not entitled to have access to the file and I must get permission from the administrator, which is - of course myself. 4. the help menu suggests that I log on as a common user and when I want to have any access to the files I will be prompted for the administrator's password 5. I follow this advice, but I am still denied any access to the file and there is no pop-up box giving me the possibility to insert the password in question What do I have to do? Arne H.
