My Pictures folder
Windows XP, I somehow managed to move the "My Pictures" folder to a directory off my c drive root directory by mistake (fat fingers).
Now when I try to access the directory in its new place it tells me:
C:\......\My Pictures is not accessible
Access is denied
It won't let me move it either, if I try that I get
Cannot create or replace My Pictures: Access is denied.
How can I get this My Pictures folder out of where it is now and back where it belongs?
Regards,
Steve

I find my misplaced folders a little easier by right click on [Start] and select [Explore] or
from My Documents menu View > Explorer Bar > Folders
Will give you a list of folders on the left side of the list of files. If you find the missing folder you can drag and drop it back in the folder it belongs in.

I finally sorted it. I have just recently upgraded the HDD in the laptop and I still had the original disk, so I swapped the new disk for the old, put the new one with the messed up folder in an enclosure, booted with the old and plugged the enclosure in to a usb port. Once it wasn't the disk XP was running off it was easy to move the folder back to where it should be, then I used tweakui to tell Windows where My Pictures should be.
