I created new use called Temproary with full admin rights. Logged on and then off as this new user. Closed down machine and restarted. Logged on as Admin. Attempted to copy settings from "Owner" to newley-created username. Make it most of the way through and then get the "Failed to set Security on the Destination Profile.error - Access is denied" message. I feel like I've tried everything but am hoping one of you has a suggestion. Please feel free to ask a question for clearification. Thanks.

Then take ownership, or configure the proper permissions on the Folder.. Also, how are you trying to copy the profile over?

Upon checking the rights on the folder (which is the username folder under Documents and Settings), they appear to be correct.Or at least the rights are identical to the rights on other machines where the "Copy To" function ran without error.This problem has been talked about several times on this board, but none of the answers seems to answer my issues.I'd appreciate any help on this one. (You know how these things go, the three that did not work were the three most important users.)

Now only the new user can access flash player. The site I have been having problems with is disney channel games. I can access other flash content on all of the user, but I think this is called flash paper. It makes no sense to me. I have another box downstairs with multiple user and everyone can access it fine. m311
