Google is unless. Every time I try asking it in various ways, the result often are unless. None of the suggestions from Google helps.
I've got Windows 7 Professional. I have Administrator account and I can access Internet Explorer 11 to get online. IE is on C: Drive. My User files is on D:
My two kids, they each have Standard Account, their User files are on E: and F: drives (on one HDD) but they are now unable to access IE. Whenever they try to click on IE, it throws up the typical "Windows cannot access the specific device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriated permissions to access the item."
But here's the catch: Kaspersky anti-virus is not blocking them, IE had not been moved, the shortcut is properly set up, Parent Controls is not being used to block them. As far as I can tell, none of those is denying the access.
Last time it was working fine then somehow got messed up.
All I can think of is the properties box, the security tab, permissions and all that, but that is very confusing. I've only had Windows 7 for about 9 months so far, and still have yet to master the security and permissions settings. Usually I prefer to leave it alone if it's working fine so far.
Is there any possibility that the permissions settings had been messed up? How do I compare the settings on my computer to what is supposed to be correct?
By the way, Restore didn't help either, I restored to last time I know they had access then found out it did not fix the problem.
Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you guys soon.
