Vista - Cannot move files to public folder

I am trying to move a picture from the picture folder to the public folder
but no matter how I try to do it - drag and drop, copy and paste, I just get
the error message 'Destination Folder Access Denied - You need permission to
perform this action - Public Pictures' then Try Again which just get s the
same error message. My account is set up as administrator.

Regards
Lynette

Have you tried right clicking on image (properties) to see what to see what
the security is set for picture.

Hi LindAnn, thanks for the reply.

I did check there is no security. I cannot move anything at all to the
public folders, documents, pictures it just comes up with the message
'destination folder access denied'. I can copy things (sample pictures) from
the public directory to other places.

Have you checked the security on the public folder, in case any thing has
been changed. You will need to do this through computer, then migrate to
public folder,

Admin should have a tick in all allowed apart from special permission, leave
that un-checked. There should be no denies.

It's ok I've sorted it out. It's my own fault! While looking at the 'tree' in
explorer, underneath the computer name are folders Public, Users and Printers
and I was trying to access the Public folder there instead of under Users
where it works with no problem of course. Thank you for trying to help me.
