While dualbooting XP SP2 and Vista RC2 i have an annoying problem.

- "You have been denied permission to access this folder."
- "Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to access the file location."
- "Cannot open file.xxx"
All these happen when i am trying to create, download, install or whatever in XP and open the files in Vista.

I know I can change the ownership, file permission in security tab, but i CANNOT give permission to multiple files in Vista at once (but it is possible in XP). UAC is off. I honestly don't want to edit every single file permission by myself.

So i am asking if anyone has the same problem in working with both OS or if theres any solution of how i can fix this? shifty.gif

This permission thing in vista is driving me nuts too. try giving "ownership" to the folders first in obne of teh advanced dialog boxes in the security/permissions section somewhere.
