Cannot Access "Documents" Folder

[Legionaire]

When I try to acccess the Documents folder from:

My Computer --> Documents

I get a "Access Denied" error.

I can access the "Username's Documents" folder without problem. But the regular Document's folder cannot be accessed.

I am running on an administrator's account. This is a PC, I am the only user.

Why is it giving me this error? and how do I get rid of it?

Sounds like you have lost permissions to the foler you will need to take ownership of the folder through the security tab.
