| | RE: can not open files copied from XP You may need to take ownership of the files while logged in as Administrator. I havent fooled enough with Vista to see the following instructions differ from other windows versions, but right click on the folder you are being denied access to, and select Properties, click the Security tab and then click the Advanced button. Go to the Owner tab select Administrator and check the box and take ownership. Then grant all users Full Control.
