Destination Folder Access Denied

I'm trying to copy pictures, videos, and music from my old laptop to my new
laptop (Toshiba with Vista) and some of them transfer OK but on some of them,
Vista puts up a box that says "Destination Folder Access Denied" at the top
and says that "You need permission to perform this action". Why is this
happening and how do I get around this so I can copy these files to my new
computer? I'm accessing my old computer files through my DSL router network.

RE: Destination Folder Access Denied

IT IS ALSO HAPPENING WHEN YOU TRY TO DELETA A EXE FILE. I CREATE A EXE FILE
FROM MY MACROMEDIA FLASH SOFTWARE AND I CANNOT DELETE ANY OF THE FILES THAT I
CREATED FROM FLASH. THEY ARE PROJECTORS FILES BUT WITH THE EXE EXTENSION AND
IT SEEMS VISTA IS CONTROLLING WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR FILES. I DEACTIVATED DE
UAC AND CHECK TWICE THAT I HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE FILE BUT STILL CANNOT
DELETE IT. I´M GETTING CRAZY WITH THE DESTINATION FOLDER ACCESS DENIED
MESSAGE THAT I GET EVERYTIME I TRY TO DELETE A EXE FILE CREATED BY ME.

WHAT CAN I DO?????????????????????????

I've had this problem on my Vista machine also. If an application has the
file open or .dll in use than you can't delete/move it, or the folder in
which it is in. If you tried to remove the program and enough of it was
left to start up, then also. you can 't delete the file. You need to find
what's happening.
1st...Make sure the program you suspect, and have maybe tried to delete, in
not in the startup folder.
2nd...Sometimes you have to re-install the program and then make sure you
use the proper uninstall to get it out, either through the Control Panel or
the utility that came with the application in the first place.
3rd..The software developer sometimes can help and maybe will have a utility
that will rip out all remaining vestiges of the program.
4th ..Virus protection and particularly Norton products have caused me no
end of grief. I'd not recommend any of their product. (just personal
opinion).
5th ..Get into Safe Mode and try to remove the file using command prompt.
6th .. Sometimes it's the OS itself that's got the file open. Try deleting
the file as soon as possible after boot up.
7th... Shut down as many start up applications are you can. Copy them to
another dummy folder until you have to problem fixed.
8th .. Try using lower case some time.
