luke77 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I have granted full control to a limited user to view the files in C:\system volume information,but I still cannot view the files.Is there a way to view them?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulstelian97 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) System volume information is a system folder that contains, for example, restore points that are read by System Restore. If some information from there is modified you would break the system restore, but even the system.Though there are some programs that can recover deleted files, but can read the System Volume Information. These cannot also write in there...Also PLEASE when "recovering" put files in another drive.

jaclaz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 For the record I cannot see ANY reference in the OP question about Data Recovery.And I hope it wasn't an urgent problem since the thread was started on the 17th of April.Just in case, try using some other file manager and not Explorer, 7-zip could do, sometimes "peculiar" folders are simply locked out "by design" in Explorer.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulstelian97 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Another method to view such folders is to assign the whole group "Users" the right to view the folder.Just coming back after a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bphlpt Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 [...] The problem remains the same on Windows 7 and 8 (Not only XP)But it's only really a problem if it prevents you from doing something you need to do (not want to do). So why does a limited user need to view the files in the System Volume Information? (And you can't count curiosity. )Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 To cover his tracks? Reboot with a Linux live CD: thence you'll be able to view, and -- even better -- delete things galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
