    Can't access Program Data after repair install


    Successfully ran my 1st repair install to correct updating errors. Went very smooth...but...in Explorer...I can not access Program Data as before.

    I get the attached security window...have tried to change permissions...but still no joy.

    When in security for Program Data folder...what do I actually modify/change to get permissions to inspect/view Program data folder ?

    Thanks....TiminAz
