Cant Open My Shared Documents Folder by regaltopax(op): 10:41am On Apr 16, 2009
Hey guys, i ran into this problem with my friends system and i cant seem to solve it.

My friend called me up he cant access his shared Documents folder on all accounts on his system apart from administrator.


When i try opening it I recieve the Alert C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents is not accessible. ACCESS IS DENIED

He has Avast Antivirus on his system .He was able to view this folder about 2 weeks ago.


Anyway i checked the Event Viewer and noticed the antivirus has had problem scanning a particular folder in the past 2 weeks so i deleted the folder.



I have tried System Restoring, Enabling File and Printer Sharing in the Windows Firewall.
Uninstalling the antivirus didnt solve the problem
I also tried creating another user to see if this will solve it. But it didnt.


Whats puzzling me is i can view the number of files and folder on the Admin account but on the Guest account its 0files 0folders

It still the same and nothing seems to open it up. Can you guys help me out?

he is using a Windows XP

The admin server must have been tampered with to limit the access of the clients. check admin settings
