Guest Gordon Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Vista Home premium SP1. I have two folders within my Documents folder. My Standard user account has full control on both folders. I am trying to move one to the other but I get "Destination folder access denied"!!!!!!!! As I say, in the security tab of each folder I have FULL CONTROL!!!!!! Why should I get this error? Quote
Guest LeeTutor Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 "My Standard user account". Are you logging on as a Standard user, or Administrator? If a Standard user, try logging on with an Administrator account. You might also try temporarily turning off User Account Control if even that doesn't work... -- LeeTutor If this answer has been of help to you, then please add to my Reputation by clicking on the middle icon at the top right. :geek: Quote
Guest FromTheRafters Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Is that "Documents" or "My Documents"? Not all things that appear as folders are really folders. The "My Something-or-other" folders may just be junction points and don't function the way one would expect actual folders to behave. If you are dealing with actual folders, and you have the requisite "permissions" then there might be an issue with the "Integrity Level" of the folders in question.

I can put a "Documents" folder just about anywhere - with various results when attempting access from various other places. ....I did include other ideas for the event he really does know how Vista works.

Anyway, I seem to have solved it - Word had a file from this particular folder open, which caused the error message....... Quote

It would be nice to have more information than "access is denied" from a notification box. File in use, unsufficient privilege, integrity level not dominated...etc... Quote
