Locked out of My Documents

[G0ldeneye]

Does anyone know why I wouldn't have access to my own documents? This is the error I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\My Documents is not accessible.

Access is Denied.

jmatt,

Was there something I missed in my earlier post? Your link from Microsoft says that to solve the issue you assert Ownership on the folder.

I said that earlier.

How does saying the same thing twice help?
