"Access is Denied" Dos prompt error!
I have had this problem for several months or more, in a dos shell (window) trying to run any applications such as ipconfig, chkdsk, results in "Access is Denied", can run dos commands such as "dir" etc!:hmmm: I have tried restoring permissions to the system32 folder, restoration is restored but didn't fix the problem. :doh:
Any ideas on this problem?:DL Edit: I have just checked the "Prevent access to 16-bit applications" policy and is "Not Configured", tried changing to Disabled but no change! :damn: I'm using XP Pro. |
Well this is weird, if I copy cmd.exe to any other folder than Windows\System32 and execute a dos window from here everything works 100%, so that is one way out :hmmm: but it seems weird since ipconfig.exe and chkdsk.exe reside in the Windows\System32 folder yet they will execute within the dos window with no problems!!:doh::-?
Surely this has to be access rights to the System32 folder?:hmmm: |
this might help the access denied problem for cmd.exe and ipconfig

Good thought but it is definitely not that, however I believe it is a Group Policy that is causing this issue, just that there are so many variables!:yep:

I was thinking NTFS permissions; might get around it by giving your user account more permissions for the system32 folder.
Never had such issues though, always used administrator accounts and the first thing I disable in Vista/Win7 is UAC, so not going by experience in this case. |

Are you a local administrator? |
I ran that and everything is "not defined", blank or not set!:hmmm:
