Documents and Settings All Users Documents - Access is denied

Hi All,

Would appreciate your help with the attached error message.

I am using Windows XP SP3 and am set up as an administrator.

I cannot install a software programme because I do not have "access" to this Documents folder.

Many Thanks

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the info.
Followed the instructions on the support microsoft link but unfortunately it didn't work.
I've attached the error message that I get when I try to install the software.

Hi Alan,

As you will see from the attached there are 3 people who access my computer (my wife, my son and myself) and we are all set up as administrators.
At the log-in screen there are only 3 icons.
The software I am trying to install (VMWare) is basically an upgrade from an earlier version.
The upgrade automatically uninstalled the earlier version before "installing" the upgrade.
Appreciate your help.

h1 jaslake,

Thanks for the input.
I shared the folder as shown in your jpeg but unfortunately it didn't work.
I have also logged in as my wife, who is also an administrator, and that didn't work either.

Many Thanks
