I did an overhaul on my computer and saved my documents on to a disk because I just sent my jump drive through the washer machine.
Thinking my documents would be fine I restored the computer deleting everything on it.
To my surprise all my documents were still there. A couple weeks later I go to open my pictures to grab a picture and it gives me an error message I've seen before, only in a folder that I didn't need as much as My Pictures.
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures is not accessible
Access is Denied"
So I began researching it and haven't found a damn thing that can help.
So am I up chocolate river without a Popsicle stick and my pictures are gone... or can it be saved?
Please help... I'm desperate.

aninsomniacbite, if you are using NTFS file system, then you can open your folder by giving yourself all the permissions. See this article if it can help you:

for his sake i hope you are not correct caperkack. because if he only copied, by creating a shortcut then he is in deep you know what. check the file that are saved on the drive and ensure that the little shortcut arrow is not on the files. and follow the advised nanosani post to take permission of the folder that your are getting assess denied on.

I all ready tried taking back the file, I click properties and I don't even have any of the stuff it says I should.
And I burned the folder on to a disk, but the disk is corrupted. I thought I made that clear, sorry
Also when I click properties it says there is nothing in it, or 0%.
If I've lost my pictures... I don't know what I'm going to do.
And for your info, I'm not a "he" just to let you know.

Thanks.
Yes on the cpu hardrive. I was surprised to find "my documents" still in tact all though everything else on the computer was gone.
I expected everything, include that to be gone, but it wasn't.
