XP Home. Shortly after doing the same installation of
asp.net,
on 2/11, after reboot, The Windows Welcome Login screen
came up, showing one user account (my master one).
Great, I only have one account, why bother I thought.
But yes, in User Profiles, there was the asp.net account.
I left it alone. I tried to move a sub folder to a new
parent ( folder "a" in d:\download\a to d:\temp\a ).
After moving, the folder was 0 bytes and inaccessible.
I found that on both my hard drvies, every folder and
file was marked as Read-Only. Program Files directory
was also marked as Hidden.
Worse, my main account (the only one I wanted) was
prevented from changing the read-only status.
In the event log view for security, I have numerous
failed login attempts ... appears that asp.net tried to
login 3 times, wrong or no password provided, so the lock-
out feature was preventing my master account from
accessing files too!
I did a point restore to 2/10, before asp.net installed.
I made sue in user Profiles to turn off Welcome Screen
and Fast-User switching (there was a kb article on fast-
user switching that helped me diagnose the lock-out
issue, thanks)
However, the read-only, hidden files thing is still
there. I CAN mark folders as not read-only, and files
too, but if I try the method for Folders\files, and
subfolders, I get permssion denied. Dos cmd line also,
can not do subdirectories and files, just one directory
or files in one directory at a time. Sure, I did a
dir /s and made a batch file to reset the read-only
attributes, but what a PAIN.
I am about to re-boot. I hope my troubles are over ...
