| Vista Ultimate x32 | Windows Fax and Scan cannot access documents I've read the previous posts on this, but still can't resolve my problem in running WFS. Does the document folder need to be on the "D" drive? My D drive is my HP recovery drive and I really don't want to mess with that. I did have a folder called "Documents" at c:\, but I moved it inside another folder but no change. THis is very exasperating and I can't believe something like this keeps the entire application from working. I just upgraded from Vist HP to Ultimate today, so I shouldn't have any problems at all in my book. Please help! Thanks. RIch |

| Vista Ultimate x32 | Re: Windows Fax and Scan cannot access documents I found a hidden file called "fax" at c:\users\rich\Documents\. I deleted the file and created a directory called "Fax" at c:\users\rich\Documents\ with subfolders called "Drafts," "Inbox," and "Personal Coverpages." Clicked on Windows Fax and Scan, and viola!---it works! I hope this helps someone. |

| | Re: Windows Fax and Scan cannot access documents Would have been nice if you had posted what you've already tried. There appear to be some permission changes that occur whenever the default Documents Folder is moved to another partition that interfere with WFS. For similar problems the following procedure was recommended in the File Management Group: Locate cmd.exe with Quick Search and rt-click Run as Administrator. Change the prompt to the partition where your Documents folder is stored, then copy ->rt-click/paste the following command: icacls documents /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low It takes a minute or so to complete. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rlane3907" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:c928e9b1848e563a2c2e432477d1b357@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
