I belive that the 3 below are ways to access an "Access denied" HD on windows NT.

1. Non working shortcut on startmenu. Click browse when it askes you to. then go to the desktop
hold up + enter (which goes up a directory level) and you're in the HD free to do whatever.

2. Create your own non working shortcut. On the Nt boxes at my school the admins disabled
the right click menu. No problem. I created a (dummy) document in word (you can use any program that
saves). and saved it to my folder. I opened up my folder and found the file I just saved. Right clicked (draged) on it to a different location, just maybe 10 pixels away on a empty spot in the folder. That brings up a menu. Copy here, move here, or create shortcut here. You want to create the shortcut here. So now you have the shortcut to the (dummy) file you just created.
Delete the original dummy file. Now click on the shortcut, which brings up the browse screen.
now goto desktop and push up + enter (which goes up a directory level). Or you can push the "up one level" button if it's there. And now you're in to do whatever.

3. The third way I know has nothing to do with the other 2 ways. I just heard about this one. but it works. open up internet explorer. goto tools, if it's there. goto tools, internet options, settings, and view files. and you're in to do whatever.

Is there any truth to this? is there a way to stop it?
