Both worked but the latter seems a bit tedious. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2702 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:27:22 +0000 zouleous 2702@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well I think I'm giving up. Something is messed up with the Favorites folder and I can't figure it out. I stored a copy of a backup for the Favorites Folder when I started having problems yesterday. </p> <p>I had made a bunch of changes just moving links around to different folders and I was hoping I could just figure out the permissions problem so I wouldn't have to reorganize again. Plus I like figuring things out to help me better understand how they work. It bugs me when I can't figure things like this out, but I just can't see spending hours upon hours trying to understand a problem with something like this. If I felt it was more important maybe I would. Permissions problems have always bugged me, but I certainly understand them far better now than I have ever have.</p> <p>Thanks for those who tried to help. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2701 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 23:55:40 +0000 zouleous 2701@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Neat tool, but it didn't help me. Pretty sure I have ownership accross the board anyhow. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2673 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 17:53:04 +0000 zouleous 2673@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yes I've tried using Organize Favorites, I've tried doing it from the menu itself, and I've tried doing it from the \user directory. Nothing works and now I seem to have screwed up the permissions so that IE7 doesn't even like it. I have no idea why, because I haven't done anything that would take away permissions. I've only done things to try to give full access on every folder of "Favorites" to myself.</p> <p>Now for some reason when I try to use links within folders it's giving me an error saying the shortcut is invalid. *boggle*</p> <p>Normally I'd blame this kind of odd behavior on some kind of virus, but it looks like it's something I created on my own. Also, I haven't had any kind of virus or spyware problems since I started using Vista.</p> <p>Gonna try the link Michael posted when I get home from work. I'll check back here later. Thanks. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2644 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:58:04 +0000 michael 2644@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If nothing works, then there is an article here:</p> <p><a rel=nofollow href='http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/'>http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/</a></p> <p>Try that.</p> <p>--<br /> Mike </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2619 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:06:38 +0000 Scott 2619@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Have you tried to change from the Menu Bar, Favorites&gt; Organize Favorites?</p> <p>(Please try to keep your head from exploding here, the less carnage the better.) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/ugh-permissions-problem#post-2616 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 22:45:01 +0000 zouleous 2616@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I'm having a problem with basic organization of my "Favorites" folder for IE. It won't let me move a folder to another folder. It looks to be a permissions issue so I tried to replace permissions on child objects for my "Favorites" folder. When I do it returns the following error:</p> <p>An error occured while applying security information to:</p> <p>-lists a folder within Favorites-</p> <p>access is denied.<br /> _________________________________________________________</p> <p>It returns this error many times for several different folders within Favorites. I can only click ok or cancel for each instance. If I click cancel it returns a warning saying if I stop it from setting the permissions it will lead to inconsistancies for the security settings of that folder.</p> <p>I am the owner and administrator. I've searched the net a good amount trying to figure this out and my head is about to explode. Hoping someone can lend some advice. Thanks in advance. </p>
