| | Re: access denied userid\documents\pictures is not a folder it is a 'junction point' your pictures are located in userid\pictures Junction points area there for legacy programs to get them to the correct place. Turn off showing system and hidden files and you won't be bothered with seeing them.

| | Re: access denied It's tough trying to figure out a posters 'My Pictures' vs the phrase my 'Pictures'. In this case I went with the error he was having. Yes you can have an ordinary folder c:\users\userid\documents\pictures but you would probably (unless you worked hard at getting rid of it) the system folder c\users\userid\Pictures which is generally where the system will think you should be storing pictures.
