| | Re: Access denied Application Data, Cookies Pictures, etc in Windows E You should be able to open "Documents", and "Pictures", if they are folders under your account name. "Application Data", "My Documents", "My Pictures" & "Documents and Settings" are no longer folders, but are junction points, used by Vista to accommodate older programs which install to or use those folders. Leave them alone.
