To access “C:\System Volume Information” on NTFS and MS Windows XP(NT5.1) one can do the following;

1. Right button click to Properties on  “System Volume Information” directory.
2. Click to “Security” Tab.
//On this tab, one can see that only the “SYSTEM” user can access this directory.
// We need to add the "Administrators" group or "Administrator" user into this.

3. Click on “add” button
4. Click on “advance” button
5. Click on “Find now” button
6. Click on “Administrators” or "Administrator" user.
7. Click on “Ok” button.

// IF WinXP(NT5.1) ~= Win2K (NT5.0), one should be able to access the system directory.
// A word of warning, this is a system directory i.e. it stores the system restore points.  
// Standard disclaimers applies i.e. don’t blame me IF your computer blows up.
// You only play with hidden system settings IF you can restore Windows NT based system with ease.

Thats where XP keeps all its System Restore information. I assume you are using NTFS, if that is the case, you will need to give yourself permission to access the folder. Are you using XP Pro or XP Home?


I am using Windows 2000 (win2k) and the drive is NTFS.  Doesn't the administrator log-on give you the appropriate permission?  Not that I want to go poking around in folder that are going to mess up my OS, but how does one give himself permission? :-?

MS Windows NT is not quite Linux i.e. “root” (god mode) user. One must think the Microsoft way.
