This is becoming a very common question as people move to Windows Vista. You have an external or extra hard drive formatted under Windows XP. In Windows XP you were running as a member of the Built-in Administrators Group, and you could write to it just fine. In Vista, you are also a member of the Built-in Administrators group, but now you can't write to it. The reason is permissions, but the reason they become a problem is because of User Account Control (UAC). If you run whoami /all /FO list on Vista you get a printout of your token. It will have a few lines that look like this: Group Name: BUILTIN\Administrators Type: Alias SID: Attributes: Group used for deny only You are a member of Administrators, but your security token does not actually have the Administrators group in it in the normal way. UAC marks that group as a "deny" which means it is never used to grant permissions, only to allow them. If you now look at the Access Control List (ACL i.e. the permissions) for the drive: C:\Users\foo>icacls d:\ d:\ NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F) BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F) BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX) The parts causing you trouble are the last two lines. The second line grants Administrators full control. You are an administrator, but because you are running under a non-elevated token, you do not have Administrators in your token, so that membership doesn't help you. The second line grants users read. You are also a member of users. Thus, when running in admin approval mode under UAC, your total rights to this drive is read. To fix this, you need to grant Users modify privileges to the drive. Really simple to do. Option one: Right-click the drive letter in Explorer and select properties Click the security tab Click "Edit." You will be asked to elevate. Remember, until you do you are still in admin approval mode and for all practical purposes you are not an admin Select "Users" and check the Modify box Click OK enough times to get back to where you were. The other option is to do it from an elevated command line. Click the Window circle Click All Programs: Accessories Right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator" Elevate Run this command: icacls d:\ /grant BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(M) Substitute whatever drive letter your external drive is mapped to for d:\. OI means "let objects (files) inherit this ACE". CI means "let containers (directories) inherit this ACE". M means "modify". An ACE is an Access Control List Entry, in other words, the entries in the ACL that grants or denies someone permission to the object. Once you do this regular users will be able to read and write to the drive. As long as you have not broken inheritance somewhere along the directory hierarchy of the drive you will not need to modify any more ACLs on this whole drive. If you want an ACL that mirrors the default ACL in Windows Vista, that turns out to be a bit more complicated. I'll address that another time. Jesper's Blog

01/14/2006 Updates: PM Preferences module has been installed on the forum. When composing new PMs, you now have checkbox options to put the PM in your sent folder or to track the PM. The problem is, those checkboxes are always unchecked when you start a new PM. With this mod, each member can set their own preferences on whether or not they would like those options to be checked off. Handy for those of us that always want to save the sent PMs in our Sent folder but sometimes forget to check the box. If you have any issues with this module, please reply in this topic.. Thx..

To add something new to my list of Windows Vista tips: what's up with the abnormally bland boot screen?! I'm all for decreasing clutter and all, but a simple progress bar seems so incomplete (then again, so does the rest of Vista). I read somewhere of a quick trick the other night when I was browsing the net. This trick apparently should only be used on newer / faster machines. You'll need to have administrative privileges to get it working right. Either use the Run command or a CMD prompt to enter: bcdedit /set quietboot 1 Should make your Windows Vista startup animation a bit more animated? I must admit that I've never tried this, so if anyone does try it, please let us know the result..
