Vista user start menu

Right click on the selected folder then go to properties 2. Click the security tab 3. Click advanced 4. Click the owner tab 5. Click edit 6. Highlight your user name and check the replace owner on subcontainers and objects checkbox, click apply then ok.

Then press ok on all of the other windows to exit out of them. Once thats done see if you can access the startup folder. A few more questions. Are you trying to gain access to an individual users startup folder or are you trying to gain access to the startup folder for all users? If you haven't noticed the 2 paths are almost identical.

Since you are experienced I am assuming that you know how to do this. Folder options can be found under My Computer, tools, folder options, view tab. Just in case, if taking ownership of the folders doesn't work try this: 1. Go to Start, All programs, Accessories, then right click command prompt and click Run as Administrator. Once the command prompt opens type this command and press enter.

This command will enable the hidden Administrator account in Windows Vista. Log off your account and log on as the Administrator. After you log on, see if you can gain access to the startup folder in Windows Vista. Note: If you try to log onto the Administrator account and it requires a password, do this.
