I have a folder that I created located C:\SharedFolder on a Windows 2008 Server R2 release. I been able to access it fine all day long, but now for SOME reason I can't even open the folder locally. I'm logged in as the Administrator of the computer, there are no other usernames created on the computer.
I try to open the folder and I get "You don't currently have permission to access this folder"
Then it says "Click continue to permantely get access to this folder."
I click continue then I get..
You have been denied permission to access the folder."
Then it says "To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab"
Then i click the security tab and I get..
"You do not have permission to access this objects permission folder" under the Security tab of the folder...
Anyone ever seen this before? I have data in this folder I really need.
The answer to the original question is you have to reset the permissions to the folder even if your on the administrator account itself. Apparently this was some bug that was apparently fixed in a later patch by microsoft.
