Sorry for the confusion. Your right about who i am. Anyway, found the
folder and files i wanted no problem. Didn't realise how much info
there was in there (62gb!!). Started up K3b (it's under Multimedia
btw.) dragged and dropped what i could to fit on a CD, but kept getting
'Error 12' when trying to burn the files (no idea what that is). Haven't
got a thumb drive so that wasn't an option. Tried to drag and drop the
files to a different location, couldn't do that 'cause i didn't have
permission to write. Tried to alter permission status, but wouldn't let
me. So any help around these options would be appreciated.
Did have one other thought, what would happen if i just uninstalled
Tweak XP? Would that lift the folder protection? Would it somehow
corrupt the folder or files within? Didn't want to try it before
getting an OK from someone if they knew. Holla back.
