Windows 10: How To Access Documents and Settings on a Different System Disk?

I have a second system disk in my machine.

Win10. I was running the machine off it until I managed to repair my original system disk via RegBack.

Now it is still hooked up but no longer the boot disk. I plan to wipe it clean and use it for mirroring my sys disk image.

But there are a few files on it I'd like to keep so I went to copy them over only to be told 'access denied'.

I am logged in as admin - the same login i used on that system disk when it was boot disk.

What can I do about this?

I suppose I can set it as boot disk again and go there and copy from it to some other disk. But I'm just curious to know if there's another way short of that to deal with it.


Edit: No worries. All done. Advanced Permissions/ Allow Acess to Everyone.

Probably a moderator could delete this whole thing? Sorry.

How to set system TEMP and TMP to a different drive in Windows 10.

I cannot mark this helpful because it was not. From my posting you would have seen I want to move the SYSTEM temp folder, not the USER folder which is already moved. You would have also seen I can delete the files manually, or run CCleaner, so Disk Cleanup
wouldn't make any difference since I can do all of that manually in a few seconds.

 

How to set system TEMP and TMP to a different drive in Windows 10.

I noticed my user account is using my settings from Win 8.1 but the SYSTEM account is still using my C: drive. I'd like to change that, I don't reboot often and the SSD C: drive isn't very large. I'm rapidly running out of room because of the temp directory
being there. I can go in and manually delete the files or run CCleaner but I'd rather just set it to one of the HD partitions.

Thanks in advance,

Ken

 

You need to mark it solved.
