Hi, I have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I am getting "Access Denied" mesage when I try to access or share some folders. I own the machine. I alway login as administrator. This is driving me crazy. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to share the files. 1. Right click on the folder you want to share and click “Properties”. 2. Click the “Security” tab and “Edit” button. 3. Click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 4. Highlight “Everyone”, check “Full Control” for “Allow” and click “OK”. 5. Click “Sharing” tab and “Advanced Sharing” button. 6. Check “Share this folder” box, click “Permissions” button. 7. If “Everyone” is listed, please highlight it and check “Full Control” for “Allow” 8. If “Everyone” is not listed, please click “Add” button, type “Everyone” and click “Check Name” and “OK” button. 9. After that, please repeat the Step 7. Does it work? Regards,Arthur Li - MSFT

Thanks for the response. The problem is that it does not allow me to do these things on certain folders - I get "Access Denied". Thanks

Thanks, I'll check it out.
