    I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with Vista Home Premium. I'm the only user and have all account on full control. Something happened and now I can't access any of my images. It only seems to affect images though. I've tried disabling the UAC and resetting all permissions. I can't figure out what's preventing it. Any ideas?

    Looks like we're going to have to put a large banner on our forum that says "NO -- You are NOT the Administrator!" Unlike in XP, when you create your account in Vista and then login, you are NOT logging in as the Admin -- you are logging in as YOU, but with some admin rights. Turning off UAC suppresses the annoying popups, but you are still NOT logging in as the Admin.



    See my other posts in the forum as to how to unhide the real Admin account.



    Try that and see if you still can not open the files.
