I recently upgraded from XP SP2 to Vista using an upgrade disc I received
from Dell with the purchase of my laptop. Most everything transferred over
smoothly but when I tried to access common folders such as My Music, My
Pictures, etc. I was given an error message saying "You don't currently have
permission to access this folder; click continue to access." After clicking
continue, I saw another message saying I was denied permission and given an
option to go to the security tab to change some settings. I worked with those
settings but still was not able to get anywhere.

I only have one account setup on this machine right now. Also, UAC has been
turned off. Can anyone help me?

I believe these folders are the old ones that I used back on XP and not the
new ones created by Vista, but since I'm still so new to Vista I really have
no idea which is which.
