As per the subject line, I am trying to read the minidumps in the Windows minidumps directory but Windows tells me I'm not authorized to do so. I'm not sure what I need to do to give myself permission to read my own files. I have three accounts on the computer but do almost everything on the one main account, which is the same one I'm using to try to view the minidumps. (I basically just want to make sure the dumps don't contain any confidential information like passwords before I post them elsewhere in these forums for help with my BSODs.)
What do I need to do get read access to my minidumps? A detailed answer or tutorial or video would be very helpful here; if you say "authorize yourself to read the files" my next question is going to be HOW? ;-) I've never played with user accounts very much and know very little about them.

- I *think* many of the questions to which I've answered "not sure" are irrelevant because it is a laptop but if you need to know specifically what model of cooling fans or keyboard or whatever where built in to the laptop, I can try to find that out if you tell me where to look. I don't see this information in the Windows/System display but maybe it is elsewhere. I'm not sure what a "PSU" is: Powe
