Guest b11_ Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Re: How can one ...................... Because I can not boot the partition. The partition will boot if the folder is erased. So how does one use the registry editor to erase that folder? _____________________________________________________________ "John John" wrote: > How to add more power to Recovery Console by using Group Policy in > Windows XP Professional > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310497/ > > For XP Home do the registry edit.

Guest John John Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Re: How can one ...................... You can't use the registry editor to erase/delete files or folders! Did you read the article? In your first post you stated that you "tryed booting with the Wxp MS-DOS startup disk but I can not access partition D!" I assumed, (maybe or probably incorrectly), that you booted to the Recovery Console and that you were trying to delete folders from there. If you are really booting with an MS-DOS disk it *is not* a Windows XP disk and if the drives are NTFS MS-DOS cannot access them. If you are booting with the Windows XP setup diskettes or with the XP cd then you are not using MS-DOS, you might be confusing the Recovery Console for DOS. The default security settings for the Recovery Console limits access to files and folders, from the Recovery Console you can access these folders: - The root folder of any drive - The %SystemRoot% folder and the subfolders of the Windows installation you are currently logged on to (in other words, the Windows folder and its subfolders) - The Cmdcons folder - Removable media drives such as CD-ROM drives All other files and folders are off limit while in the Recovery Console, unless you give it more power by doing what it says in the article I pointed you to. If the Windows installation can't boot then you cannot change the security restrictions currently in place. You will have to use other methods to delete the folder.
