Upgraded from 8 to 8.1. Connected a USB external hard drive (worked fine before ... even on this machine's 8.0). When I try to access certain user created folders with Explorer, .. I now get some access denied problems.



Pictures tell it all (the sixth one is the most applicable):

1st error window:

4th

5th

6th where I turn totally stupid.

Plugged external drive into other computers ... same problem on each. Thanks in advance for any help.
