[Anonymous]

This is my problem when when i try to open my desktop folder or my favorites folder in my local disk this pops up

C:/Documents and settings/Owner/Desktop is not accessible

Access is denied

C:/Documents and settings/Owner/Favorites is not accessible

Are you logged on as Admin or Owner or something else?

[Crono]

Just to be sure, when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, the screen you see says something like

Owner is logged on as BlahBlahBlah/Owner

and in Start>Settings>Control Panel>Users&Passwords
Owner is in the Admin group?

[Crono]

im 100% sure im the owner btw i did a system recovery like a week ago

[Fed]

Owner is logged on as BlahBlahBlah/Owner

I take that as a 'yes'.

Owner is in the Admin group?

I take that as a 'Yes'.

OK, moving right along, scan your computer.

 Crono..... Why was it necessary to do a system restore .......were you trying to get rid of a virus or trojan ?

Which anti virus software do you have installed and is it up to date ?

Can you restart in safe mode with networking then try and access the free scan site above?

[Crono]

how do you put the comp on safe mode

[Fed]

As it boots, tap the F8 key.

[Fed]

BTW, the reason I asked you to do the online scan is because that site is updated many times a day with new virus signatures.
