![]() ![]() Now that I think about it, I could have run Explorer as Administrator, and the security tab of the file properties window would have been easier to use than cacls. I made a copy of the file and used cacls to give Janice access to the file: cacls.exe JaniceAddress.ABK /e /g "Janice":fĪt that point, PrintMaster was able to find and use the address book. So I started my cygwin shell as Administrator, and then I could view it. Interestingly, I couldn’t open it from Janice’s account - permission was denied. So I searched the entire C: drive, and found C:\ProgramData\Broderbund Software\Print\PrintMaster\Books\ADDRESS.ABK I searched c:\Users\Public and one I created, c:\Users\Shared. I didn’t find file names containing the word “address” in her home directory, so I searched my user’s home directory. Since I’m a Linux and shell scripting regular, I resorted to comfortable tools: Cygwin bash and find. It works, and works well, but it's like trying to use the GIMP, and has been that way since I was using it with dot matrix printers. I've never used Print Master before (never heard of it, actually). Easily as good as Print Shop or Print Artist. Since PrintMaster stores its address book in an unspecified location, I went searching the file system for the address book, knowing that it had to be somewhere. Unortunately, it's only cheap if bought with the rest of the Office Suite. Janice mentioned that we used it to print mailing labels a few months ago. When I looked at it, PrintMaster couldn’t find an address book. She had been using PrintMaster to add address book entries so she could print mailing labels, and the addresses reportedly disappeared. ![]() Janice got frustrated tonight when her address book disappeared. ![]()
