RALPH, good day.   
      
    RO> I am used to accessing all files in a WinXP setup. But with Win7,   
    RO> I have to be the owner/administrator/etc to access files.   
      
   	We are creatures of habit !  I never go to Windows Explorer, I open the HD,   
   look for the folder I seek, 2-click on it and further search what I need. Make   
   sure that you have hidden folders accessible.   
      
   	Go to : http://lounge.windowssecrets.com/ and ask your question there, fine   
   group. You might have to register but free and tremendously worth the time and   
   effort.
