There is a folder on a secondary drive with some weird hash "E:\103b8a747ac523a8de" which contains the file MRT.exe and a directory I am concerned with, "E:\103b8a747ac523a8de\Photos". The folder got her when dragging a Photos folder to move to E: home dir it started moving to the hash dir do to a mouse running out of batteries. I was able it hit cancel before it was even 5% through the move, but obviously a glitch occurred and it did not cancel correctly as it did not move back to where the folder was previously present and search only yields the Photos folder in the hash DIR. This is my problem, I Cannot access, move, copy, view contents or get metadata, or do anything at all with the Photos folder. I am logged in with Administrator account named USER1 and even enabled and tried login with the default Administrator login account to see if i could access via that. No go. It shows for both USER1 and Administrator login accounts full control with all permissions allow however under security for the hash folder and Photos folder. Still no access. Access denied boot disk command prompt as well. I tried removing the drive and placing into another PC, but it says access denied. I am out of ideas if it says I have full access and the highest enabled default Administrator account wont even let me access it. This is Windows 7 professional, with all the latest updates.

Hi c19, Thanks for the post! I suggest you take the ownership of this folder. Follow these: 1. Right-click the file or folder you want to take ownership of. Click Properties, and then click the Security tab. 2. Click Advanced, and then click Owner tab. 3. Click Edit, and do one of the following: To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click Other users and groups and, in Enter the object name to select(example), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK. To change the owner to a user or group that is listed, in the Change owner to box, click the new owner. 4. (Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box. Then check if you can delete this folder.
