"file access denied"
-
I can' t open or copy some files. When I try it says "Access denied" and that maybe some other program has access to the file. But there is no other programm running and windows just has finished booting. My PC crashed while it was copying some files from one drive to another. Please tell me how I can reset this "access"-flag or where it is. Maybe with some API - Calls JAVA sucks!

What version of Wndows ? What filesystem ( NTFS, FAT )? Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.

It may be Explorer itself, or one the many new shell extensions that XP seems to be bundled with. I recall reading about this a while back. Sorry I don't have any more info. I don't use XP.

In that case you might want to use TakeOwn.exe utility that comes with Resource Kit (it's for Win2k, but should work on WinXP!) I recently had the exact same problem. For some reason security bits for certain folders were not read properly (or corrupted completely) and each time access denied would occurr. No way to change permissions back! Used takeown.exe and fixed it fine. So it's worth trying to use this utility, because it does the job. You can even see the OS protected information! Regards, Venet.
