Vista - HELP! Vista Upgrade Locked Out "My Music" Folder

Help Please!

I ugpraded Windows XP to Windows Vista Home Premium and now I cannot access:

My Music
My Pictures
My Videos

No matter what I do, I can't set the permissions right so I can get to my
files.

iTunes won't load because the "my music" folder won't open, and all my music
I paid for is locked out.

I've searched on the WEB and found lots of posts of people with the same
problem but no solution. This must be a bug.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks

can you take ownership?

I had this same problem, too, as have many others. I found answer at support
at itunes from others. Basically you need to

1) Go into Control Panel

2) Click on User Accounts & Family Safety heading

3) Click on User Accounts, then look in menu and Click on Turns User Account
Control On or Off.

4) Unclick User Account Control (UAC) to turn it off

5) Restart Computer

6) Go to Itunes and authorize your computer

7) Go back to User Accounts and reselect UAC to turn it back.

Your computer will then have to reboot to save settings and your iTunes
should give you access again.
