WIndows Vista: robocopy : error 5 : access is denied, while copying files from user's home directory
-
Hello, I am getting "error 5: access is denied " message when trying robocopy: robocopy c:\user\myuser\Documents\myfile.txt c:\user\myuser\mydest /E /XO stagein.txt This happens only when i try to copy a file present is existing folder in user's home, such as: c:\users\myuser\documents or c:\user\myuser etc. Interestingly, if i create my own folder under these folders and try copying a file from there, it works. I have tried giving full permissions, changing acls etc. with cacls . But with no avail. Any help is appreciated. - Gajendra

one non-admin user is not allowed access to files/folders belonging to another user. :)
