Attempting to reach RCT3 Billboards requires navigating a concealed directory, which is currently blocked from access.
Verify your identity on the system. If the lock is engaged, there may be an issue.
Your documents and picture folders are stored in your profile folder. They are saved in C:\Users\<Account Name>\ by default. If you moved them elsewhere, they can be found in the new location. You can open them via the Start menu after adding them through the Settings panel (Settings > Personalize > Start > Select desired folder). If you can't find them, right-click the folder, choose Properties, navigate to the Security tab, and click Advanced. A window will appear with the "Owner" field showing your account. If it shows a random number, click "Change," then in the dialog click "Advanced" > "Find Now." Select your account, double-click it, and confirm. Under the "Effective Access" section, click "Select User" and choose your account again. In the Permission tab, verify your account has full access; if not, add it using the "Add" button and set permissions to full access (uncheck if grayed out). Restart this process when finished.
The file system I'm trying to reach is locked by permissions. The directory is hidden on Windows, making it unreachable even with admin privileges. This issue persists across operating systems older than XP.
It seems the final paragraph is likely the intended message. This indicates you have malware present. If it's a new type, standard detection methods may fail. Investigate ways to recover the folder—connect your drive as a secondary storage device, possibly on a non-Windows system to bypass NTFS restrictions. You might also consider using a live Linux environment.
I don't mean access these. I mean a 'My Pictures' folder that should be here. ' I doubt it's any kind of malware that is doing this since I never noticed a folder here in 7 even on fresh install that was called "My Pictures". Microsoft put it out of service after XP (said from other sites), and I need to get it back so I can get RCT3 billboards, unless theres a way to reroute it.
That’s not an actual folder—just a legacy reference for old programs. The real location is inside the user directory.
It seems like the issue you're encountering is related to XP compatibility. For programs that use hard-coded paths to directories, the correct approach involves using the proper API instead of relying on Windows' default methods.
Find alternative methods beyond standard compatibility routes.
