View Full Version : Missing rights for recovery tool?
Hello,
When I try to purge some items from the recovery tool, it says 'You are probably missing rights for this action!'
Any way of fixing this?
I am the only user on the machine and I have admin rights.
Also I am using winxp pro.
Hello,
It seems that something has removed your file/folder permissions for the recoveries. Please check the permissions in:
* Windows NT, 2000 or XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Recovery
(Please note that the Application Data Folder is hidden. So if you can't find this folder please check your folder properties;http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)
NTFS permissions:

If you are using Windows XP Home you probably have to start Windows in safe mode in order to be able to access the permission settings.
