A new folder has appeared in my computer and in C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents, which i havent noticed before. I am denied access to this
folder.
This causes a problem when trying to install an adobe program, as it
requires access to this folder. Consequently im told during installation that
it can no longer procede due to having no access to the folder in question.
It also mentions someting about being a system administrator, which i am!
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
