All os a sudden soe of Folders have showed with a little Yellow lock at the bottom Right, and are not accesible; I don't know how this happened, as I haven't changed any security settings on my system.

Other folder a have a little Blue Curved arrow and are also unaccesible?

 

I managed to unlock my \username ( Showing a little Yellow Lock) To get to AppData...I went and regained Full permissions from the tab,after Right clicking the foder...But...

Have you googled your problem and tried any of those solutions?

 

You can post over at sevenforums, best place I have found to get help for Win7.

Are you logged on as an administrator?

Idahoesurge,Yes i've been Googling and most posts have the same solution, but it's there I get stuck...

 

Daveo; Yes I'm logged on as Administator

Maybe a virus or something.

God! Don't say that! Bite your tongue! This machine has suffered enough, I got hit my mcAfee Bug last year, had to format twice,as intructed to XP-SP2,then to win7,twice Took me for ever to get refund from mcAfee,, no big a deal. Resorted to Avira,for some reason with Avira supporter on-line didn't succeed to install, several times. There i was refunded straight away. So I resorted upon advice from ther simmer frineds for MSE. That has so far worked properly so far,, Do regular scans,as adviced nothing appears, luckily.

 

Whne I saw yoour post I went o checke if I was logged as administrator and clicked on it an I appeared, ie.my user name. Then I tried again and now I can open both my application Data and app AppData folders and get to the destination folder I want to get to, but sthere are still some folder which are not accesible, but I have double folder of fx. my photoes, one with a Blue curved arrow,which I can't open and one without which I can open,Here is an image of my folder structure:

 

 

I have Full Control in my security settings...

Ah. those ones with the little blue curve are some sort of internal system shortcuts. You can't access them. If you hide system files in the folder settings you wont see them. Its too bad in Vista and Win 7 that they didn't have a separate setting for those because there are system files I want to see but not those.

Can you explain please how to get rid of them Please? I no computer expert so I'm used to have all these things in a way I ca recognize and use readily; I have no idea how these got changed; they were fine until I got a flash player update.

 

I'm off line now until tomorrow...

Open windows explorer. Go to tools > Folder Options > View and tick the button that says Don't show hidden files, folders or drives.

Okey! Changed the setting and the folders with locks and arrows are gone...

But now knowing that the FSX.cfg file is a hidden one, how can I find it when I need it, Do I have to change the setting again, edit>save>close>Then choose again "Don't show Hidden...

Sorry Daveo I need all this fed a bit at a time, Tak,

I have a shortcut on my desktop to the FSX.CFG. You will have to unhide it first to make a shortcut for it.

*Morning Daveo I found my FSX-cfg in this location...See Thumbnail image:

Right click on it and send it to the desktop.

Daveo I'm going to leave it where it resides, Because I clean my desktop regularly and I'm afraid of accidentally deleting it...

You have been Very generous with your help,I thank you it, (with a Mange Tak in Danish) Which is where I am across the sund.

It doesn't matter if You delete the shortcut. It won't delete the actual FSX.CFG file.

Vi hors.
