Access is Denied on file created by Administrator account.

[KB]

I am running windows 2000 and I created a new account in the Users group to prevent any system files from being modified while using the computer. Using the account in the Users group, I am unable to move, delete or execute any files I had downloaded with Morpheus with the Administrator account. I gave the Users group "Modify" rights to the directory where the downloaded Morphous files are located "C:\Program Files\Morphous\My Shared Folder", but I still can't move those files. I have to log back in as administrator to do so. What did I do wrong? How do I give the Users group access to the files created by Administrator if directory permissions didn't do it?

They will need more than modify rights, they will need read/write and execute. Sorry can't check the wording as I don't have a 2k machine handy

Re-ACL the folder that you d/l to, so that "Everyone" has R/W/Exec (or Full Control)....

Modify: Means the that user can open the file, change it, and write it back to disk. Cannot delete the file, cannot create a new one.

Just give your user account full control to your download folder.
