"My" folders inaccessible via explorer

Hello

Using the explorer I cannot access the special folders "My Pictures",
"My Videos" and "My Music" anymore. The explorer claims that I haven't
access permission, but looking at properties I have full access rights.

Using a different file manager like TotalCommander there is no problem
at all, only the explorer (and thus OpenFileWindows from any
application) bothers me.

Yes, I know that these are special folders and that they are mapped to
different folders, but that doesn't explain why one application
(TotalCommander) works and another (Explorer) not.

TIA
Knut

Can you access them if you are in the Administrator mode
