Well, yeah. I was changing the pictures to go to my mass storage drive and now I can't change the location.

If I try to restore default location it says "Access denied"

If I try to move it somewhere else it says "The specified path is invalid"

> Try pointing the Pictures folder on your PC to its default location this time.

If this doesn't work as well, you may want to Take the Ownership of your profile folder that resides at C:\Users\ and then try again.
