I recently started intermittently seeing an error message when I clicked on Explorer and then the Documents tab.  "C:\Users\user\My Documents is not accessible.  Access is denied.

Even when I get that message I can still access files and folders via packages such as spreadsheet/writer.  I also find that loading files when clicking on a folder can take a long time, as can opening photographs.  Could there be a link?

Thanks,

Ian

Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab. Under Group or user names, click your name to see the permissions that you have. Click Edit, click your name, select the check boxes for the permissions that you must have, and then click OK.
 

Greetings,
Jimmy
