Can anyone find a way around the reason why I cannot remove a directory that was created by another user loging onto my machine. I am running Windows XP Client, NT4 Server, NTFS using local profiles not roaming profiles.
When different users log onto the machine, the local profile is of course stored in C:\Documents and Settings. If say User A logs in creates a folder say test, then I log in as User B if I try to delete folder test it says I do not have permissions. Logging in as User B I have in User Manager, Full domain admin rights, ie full network control, added in User A and User B for access to the folder. When I log back in as User B, I still cannot delete the folder, or even amend the properties for the folder so I can gain access. I can get the box to appear for changing permission and even change, but as soon as I click on apply or change I get an error message saying I have no permission to change.
If User A logs back into the machine, they can see the folder fine. But as I work in an office where up to 20 people use the machine when I am not there, I have folders all over the place that other people have created and I would like to delete them seeing as it is my machine most of the time. I have thought of getting each person in turn to log in and remove, but some people have left and I still have the folders on the local hard drive C.
So how can I delete the folders, any ideas??
