My Documents - Access
Posted by Travler on December 19th, 2005


My laptop died but the HDD is OK. I have put the HDD in a USB caddy and moved
most of the files to my PC. Problem is that when I try to move the 'My
Documents' folder or the files in it i get an access error. No matter what i
set the rights to or share the drive I get the same error.
Any ideas.

Thanks
