"Access denied" when opening files after restore

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

"Access denied" when opening files after restore

Post by *HeRo »

Hi!

I have always been a very happy user and owner of TotCmd, now on v.9.0a (x64) under Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
In order to try to solve another problem, I restored a 3 month old Farstone drive image of C:. Something I normally do about 4 times a year. And suddenly I can't open files in TC. I get the error message "Access denied" (that is my translation from Danish "adgang nægtet"). But I can open the files in Windows Pathfinder (I think it's called, or maybe File Explorer). I have never experienced anything like that. Please help.

Best regards,
Henrik R.

Try opening them via context menu. Maybe this gives a more descriptive message about the issue.

Yes. I get this message: "Windows could not gain access to the indicated unit, path or file. You may not have the necessary rights to gain access to the element."
But a moment later I gain immediate access to the same file from Windows Pathfinder!

Well... I gave up and restored my drive image of the system partition again, and that seems to have solved the problem.
First I tried repairing the TC-installation in Control Panel, but that didn't help.
