When I attempt to navigate using WE it says: Drive [X]:\[Directory] is not accessible. Access denied. I can navigate perfectly well within other programs which have their own browsers. If I have to reinstall, can I do so over the existing version, or am I going to have to do it from the ground up? (Yuk.) Thanks, Richard "My primary musical instrument is the personal computer."

You may need to "Take Ownership" - if you do make sure you include sub folders - this is a known bug in Win7 (and Vista and presumably win8) --=-- My credo: If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - just ask my missus, she'll tell ya --=-- You're only paranoid if you're wrong!

Which drive do you mean? If it is a non system drive it might have gone down,v (or not be plugged in too well) you can check it in Windows here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641432/en-gb File permissions are about who sees what. Right click on the offending folder go to properties/ security Win 11 64, Asus Rog Strix z390 mobo, 64 gig RAM, 8700k

If you do succeed in applying the Administrators Group, you may then need to re-apply ownership of your "home" folder. You can also consider: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/lost-all-administrator-rightspermissions-after/e9ec60a1-665b-414d-8e05-376e2598a3c2 Lawrie --=-- My credo: If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - just ask my missus, she'll tell ya --=-- You're only paranoid if you're wrong!

I was going to report that when I right clicked as instructed, I got a message that said Explorer had stopped functioning; then another that said it was restarting; and then it would shut down. That all stopped and it seems to be working fine now. In between your replies and this response I ran a MS Security Essentials scan, then D/Led and installed MBAM and ran it. MBAM found two threats, which it quarantined. I haven't restarted yet, but everything seems to be in order. Of course, I will let you know if that changes. Thanks, guys! R.
