| | Cannot get access to "Pictures" and "Music" folders I can access "Pictures" and "Music" when I open either from the Start menu, but I get the message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder" when I try to open either folder from "Documents". I am the Administrator for this Vista Home Premium installation. When I try to change permissions I get the message: "An error occurred while applying security information to: C:\Users\My Name\Documents\Pictures. Access is denied." |
