administion rights
I am logged on as a administrator,(running rc1 64bit version) I have lost all excess to both HDD and any programs that require administrator rights. I have excess to the local LAN, full excess to outlook. I cannot manage my user account. Seems to have excess to documents, music and photo folders. Even if I boot vista of the second drive, I still have no excess to these drives or programs that needs administrator rights.

Hi, We do not have permissions to access some of junction folders in system. When accessing some of system folders, UAC pass is needed. In order to confirm if the permission behaviors you encountered are by design, please let us know which HDD and which folders are not accessible, please capture screenshots when error message is received when you try to access them. Also please let us know if you could not access the whole hard drive, or just some folders in that driver. Also let us know if it is a external drive or internal. You may save the screenshots in the SkyDrive of your Live Space. Wait for your reply.Arthur Xie - MSFT

Hi, The two drives are internal, C:\ drive and D:\ drive, I have no excess to the whole drive, on each of the HDD via windows explorer, and I cannot excess these drives over the network. I only thing I can excess is in my document, music, photo, via the start button. There's a screenshot in my skydrive. I have full excess to my cd, usb drives and network drives. Any programs that needs direct excess to c:\ drive will not start. I reinstalled vista on the D:\ drive,(I had to delete the partition on that drive, as I had no excess to that drive) and I now keeping the two drives separated. The only thing I was doing prior, I was in the homegroup section setting up, and I change the password that was issued to me. I have lost the original password. Thanks

The issue should not be related to the HomeGroup. I suggest that you boot in Safe Mode with your account, and check the result. If the issue does not occur in Safe Mode, there should be software conflictions. In this case, please temporary remove the anti-virus in Safe Mode if it is possible, reboot and then check the result again. You may also try to reboot in Clean Boot Mode. 1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK". Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. However, if the issue persists in Safe Mode, please manually take the ownership and correctly set permission for the C and D drives. The following website can be referred. Change the permissions and take ownership of your files and folders Important Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. If you do not have permissions to do the task, boot in Safe Mode and log on with the system built-in Administrator account, and try again. However, if the above suggestions do not help, please let us know if there is any error message when the issue occurs. If so please let us know hte detail message.Arthur Xie - MSFT
