Access Denied ? Created 18 years ago2006-01-07 06:05:48 UTC by Slasher_101

Yep, got another problem, this time it's with the Steam folder itself. I don't seem to have any rights to any of the Folders or Files in my Steam folder !

If I try to make a new folder, delete something, copy or move something, it tells me "access denied" and "make sure disk is not full write protected and that the file is not currently in use"

But I am pretty sure Steam or any Source games are not running, I can't even paste maps in the maps folders !

Please help !

1. Is the disk full?
2. Are you logged in to an administrative account?

(My bad,)

No, the disk isn't full, and yes I am administrator

You must have removed your permissions from the directory, then, if this happens in Explorer. What OS?

Windows XP

OK, problem solved. It was because the shortcut I used took me to \computernamesteam,

instead of F://valve/steam/

Thanks

Interesting. Glad you fixed it.
