Access Denied
Willy2:
Sometime permissions of files are messed up. Download Tweaking's Windows Repair All In One (WR)(http://www.tweaking.com ) and follow the instructions. Make sure you - at least - tick the box "Reset File Permissions" in the main repair screen.
SandyG:
Ran tweaking with File Permissions checked and it made no difference. I still get the same error Access Denied message. I don't think I'm going to be able to solve this issue. Fortunately, all of my files are stored on an external hard drive so I don't really need to access these folders. I don't think I had anything in them.
Tomas_Sweden:
Did you upgrade from windows xp to windows vista? Or did you transferred files from windows xp to windows vista?

SandyG:
I didn't do any upgrades. Started with Vista and this is the original setup I had. Also, after running tweaking when I open Outlook I now get a File Conversion Message (see attached file. Then when I try to close that box I get a Word can't convert message (see attached file).

I did use your tweaking program on my computer. Haven't been into the issues I was having yet, but liked what it seemed to do. Will know more in a bit. Also, when I loaded your program it said there was a newer version, I clicked yes to go to the download site. There really wasn't a download there. Finally I got to the spot where there are a lot of download options. I downloaded from the main site the full version but it still says there is a newer version. Not sure how to get the newer version. In any event, here is the screen shot you requested. I should always have access to the My Pictures folder.

That is a normal error. In vista and newer MS changed the folders. It is no longer called "My Pictures" it is just called "Pictures"
The shortcuts you see there are just for old program compatibility and if you try to open my documents or my pictures you will get access denied. Instead you open "Documents" or "Pictures" :wink:

Odd you got that after the repairs since the windows repair doesnt target anything with MS office. What happens when you just choose the first option on the left "Windows (Default)"?
And for the picture with word, do you get that box every time you open word?
