How to copy protected files when an Administrator in Vista (easily)
- by earlz
Hello, I have a harddrive I need to backup. In the harddrive is of course things like Documents and Settings which is set to not allow other people to see inside someone's personal folders.
I am an administrator though and I can not figure out how to mark these files so that I am permitted to access them and copy them. IWhen I double click on My Documents then it pops up saying You must have permission to access this and gives me an option like ok or cancel. I click ok and then it says you do not have permission to access these files
I'm an administrator on the system so I don't understand why Vista is locking me out.
How can I setup vista so that it will let me copy every file, even ones I don't have permission to?
