Well, it didn't work. I turned User Account Control off. Restarted the
system, tried accessing the folder and a still being blocked. The specifics
are:
When I click on the folder to open it or right-click and left click Open or
Explore, I get the following message: "You don't currently have permission to
access this folder. Click Continue to get access t this folder."
I click Continue. The next message says: "You have been denied permission to
acces this folder. To gain access to this folder you will need to use the
security tab."
I click Security Tab link. The folder's Properties window opens to the
Security Tab. It reiterates that "You do not have permisssion to view or edit
this object's permission settings."
I click on the Advanced button. The Advanced Security Settings window opens
and I click on the Owner tab. Under Object Name is the folder name. Under
Current Owner it says "Unable to display current owner." I am not allowed to
"Change owner to"
I have been able to get into the folders where my files are via the
organizer in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, however, I sure would like to know
how this folder became "unowned". Thanx for all the feedback . . . ;-} SD

I am sometimes found in a strange daze.
I am known to have strange days.
