My Pictures is not actually a folder (note the little arrow on it) it is a
redirection for older programs that hard coded in that name. The actual
folder is named Pictures in Users\{your name}\

I have been reading all the posts and cannot find an answer that works. I
have Vista Home Prem. I cannot get access to many of the folders on the C:
drive. I consider myself pretty well versed in Windows but Vista totally
baffles me. I cannot even get access to the "My Pictures",etc folders in
the Documents and settings section of my own account. I have a Dell laptop
and I am the only account and it is an admistrator account. I am not very
worried about outsiders getting access, there is no sensitive data and I am
the only user. It is on a secure wifi system in my home.

Please someone help!!

Thanks,
Neil
