| | My Videos "You do not have permission" I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and I am the only account on my computer. It has the administrator's privilege's, and I have been trying to access the 'My Videos' folder for the past week. It keeps saying "You do not have permission to view this folder." When I go to change the ownership like it tells me to do, it says that my account is the owner. The only different thing with this folder is that it has an 'Everybody' group, and I think that is the problem. What do I need to do? |

| | RE: My Videos "You do not have permission" Are you sure it is My Videos? The folder I have is just Videos. Most of the folders with "My" are not real folders but junctions to allow interface with legacy programs and they can not be accessed. -- Paul "Paul30493" wrote: Quote: > I have Windows Vista Home Basic, and I am the only account on my computer. > It has the administrator's privilege's, and I have been trying to access the > 'My Videos' folder for the past week.

| | RE: My Videos "You do not have permission" Yeah. It's 'My Videos.' Is there any way to make the folder accessable? I had some videos saved on there that I want. I just recently upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP, so I know there is video's saved there. "PaulB" wrote: Quote: > Are you sure it is My Videos? The folder I have is just Videos.

| | RE: My Videos "You do not have permission" I changed the location of the 'My Videos' folder, and it switched over fine. I think I lost some things inside, since they couldn't be transfered, but I didn't have anything important in there that I remember. Thanks! "Paul30493" wrote: Quote: > Yeah. It's 'My Videos.'
