Hello,

I am trying to help a friend getting back control of her laptop. She's using
her laptop at home but also at her job (previous/old job) where some
restrictions seemed to have been setup through .NET framework.
She does not seem to have write rights to her own folders especially using
Office 2000. She constantly getting errors about not enough permissions, or
files already used byu another user, ...
Is there anyway to revert her rights back to normal and remove all the
restrictions set by .NET?
She is using Win98 SE and I this point all I can do is restart from scratch
and reinstall everything...

Thank you for your help.

Eric.

Hi Willy,

I really thought that this had to do with cryptography or CLR security.
All the files I am trying to open from Word for instance are local on the C:
drive, and I first receive a message about the file being already opened by
another user and something about not enough permission...
I checked Office settings, for startup, template and document folders,
everything point to the C: drive !!

I had already removed all the ~*.doc files.
If I can't save a new document, I get a "not enough permission" message,
then a "check the space" message. I have 2 gig of free space.

Yes, I tried, I created a new folder and tried to save a brand new Word
document and I get the message:
"Word cannot complete the save due to a files permission error"
How can you have a read-only folder under Win98 anyway? The only way I know
would be to share the folder and then only give Read-Only access..

Thank you.

Eric.

This has nothing to do with .NET
..NET doesn't set restrictions on user files or folder, more, W98 doesn't
even know about such things like ACL's.
Guess, your friends problem is due to domain policies as applied by her
(former?) employer. Are make sure the folders are local, that is, check
wheter no network shares are to be mapped.

Eric,

No, the CLR has realy nothing to do with this.
All I can think about is that somewhere there still exist an old Word
locking file or a recovery file (look for ~$xxx.doc) for the document you
are trying to open.
What happens if you create a new document from word?

Are you sure the folder you are writing to is not marked read-only.
What happens if you write to another newly created folder.

Willy.

PS. You definitely have to move this to the office NG, you might get better
answers there.

Just found out - c:\windows\temp was almost 1GB. Purged it and everything is
fine now ...
