Good morning.
I'm using "free portable commander" in a removable disk, and would like to access the folder "System Volume Information". If possible and know how.
Thanks.

access the folder "System Volume Information"
Right-click on the folder, get Properties. In the Security tab, you will see who or what has rights over that folder. There is an Add button -- add your username and make sure that you have Read checked. Don't give yourself full control, that could allow malware to mess with it in your name.
In Vista, there is no Add button, so it takes several extra steps! One of the few things I miss about XP.
I always run as a non-admin user for everyday stuff. I have to switch over to an admin account to give myself any special privileges. That's how I make myself behave

I concur with these points, but would like to add that it may be necessary to do the following as well:matera wrote:Right-click on the folder, get Properties.

1. Replace permission entries on all all child objects
2. Also, taking ownership and propagating that to all child objects as well.
HTH and good luck!
