Strange thing happened this morning - I clicked on my user folder on
my desktop, which worked fine, but when I clicked on the 'My
Documents' file folder and some other folders, I got 'Location not
available -access is denied'.

I only have one user account on the system - me.
Also, I only have one drive, its brand new and working fine.

Click to expand...

By default the documents folder will be called "Documents", any folders with
"My " in will be junctions to maintain compatibility these are usually
hidden and not usually visible.

Ah thanks - yeah the first thing I usually do is turn off hidden
files.
I should have known since they are shaded - but the new icons are so
different I didnt really notice.

Thats explains everything.
