WOW thanks ajbritton that sound like the info i need. I'll take a look at those GPO settings later. Many thanks.

Thanks for that chris, but will that cure the problem of new user profiles giving denied access? The reason i want access to the profiles is due to printing problems. Users have access to printers in other rooms then the one they are in. I am in the process of setting up the suit PCs printer access, but although the PC is only setup to print to the network in the room, students are getting access to other printers. I believe the problem is due to printers being picked up via roaming profiles, and following he user from room to room.

Ok here goes. We have a W2K Server / XP network. Our Network Manager has recently left and left us in a right mess. Currently we have roaming profiles, which work okish. The problem I have is that I cannot access any of the users’ profiles; I just get access denied, even as administrator. If I reset ownership rights and then security rights I can gain access, but if I then delete said profile, when the user logs back on the profile is recreated and then I’m back to square one. So: 1. How can I reset access rights on all the user profiles? 2. How can I make it so I have access to newly created profiles? FYI the profiles are in the following location \\%SERVER%\%USERNAME%\W2KPROF Cheers TOM
