Administrator can't save picture

[shimsho]

Hello,

I am the administrator (and only user) on my new Win7 laptop, so I have moved my library folders (picture, music and documents) from smaller c: partition to large D: partition, I have moved all my pictures from my backup USB drive to my library, then I installed Canon DPP editing software (similar to photoshop), now the funny part starts, when I edit a picture and trying to save the new edited picture to the same folder where the original picture resides (My Pictures/Vacation) im getting a message that I'm not authorized to save it there and need to selet another location !!! WHY ? I'm the administrator...Can anyone shed some light on this ..

Thanks

Hello Johnnya, thanks for the quick reply, the instructions in suggested link are the ones i used to relocate the libraries and it worked fine, also when I click on my pictures folder in start menu it brings me to the correct folder on D: partition so there is no problem, the authorization to save new (or modified) pictures to the same folder is the issue..

Have you tried to take ownership of the folder on D: that you want to save to?

FYI, you can't relocate a library. A library is just a way of organizing other folders...they are not folders themselves. I believe you are confusing terms.
