I get permission denied when trying to access folders such as My Documents, how do I fix ?

vjp1969

I have some folders that I cannot access.  I get access denied when trying to browse my documents, my pictures, Documents and Settings, etc.  How do I set the permissions where I have full access to my system?  I have windows 7 professional installed

This may be due to Windows user profile restrictions. In this case, you can sign in to windows using an administrator account (if you have not done this already) and check if that resolves the issue.

 

If the issue still persists, you can refer to the following links for some more troubleshooting options:
