Re: xp home temp directory permissions

More info::

This machine is a Compact and it has a "Compact Owner" user for logins. I'm
getting fairly certain that this is the trouble. I'm sure I'll have to have
the user specifically set permissions, this is a typical activex control and
most users have no trouble getting this all to work.

Can you post the steps to boot in safe mode under XP Home? The choice
doesn't come up with F2 or F12, do you just hit space bar when it's first
booting up?

Try granting users or everyone read permisisons to that folder. In XP Home
that can be done by booting into Safe Mode as administrator to see the
security tab for a folder or using a command line tool such as the built in
cacls. %temp% refers to the documents and settings\username\local
settings\temp folder.

We have a web application using ActiveX controls that resize and save
photographs to the %temp% directory, then it reads them and posts to the
server.

Normally this is fine and only takes a few changes in internet options to
allow it to work, but, with xp home we have a user where the component
can't
operate, it can't read from the temp directory.

So my question is how to adjust security on xp home so that an ActiveX
control can read/write to %temp% ??
