can't open file or folder

Hi,

If I download a movie or song it goes to my download folder and works fine.
When I move the file or folder to my movie or music folder it fails to open.

It says the folder is not accessible, you do not have permission. I have
signed in as the administrator.

Thanks

Thanks for replying Will. It now works. For some reason if I make the
troublesome folders, 'private', folders they then work. This solves the
problem for anyone else suffering from this, but if anyone knows why you need
to do that please reply.

Thanks again
