if you open "run" and type the path for the folder , say for example "D:\folder" .. does it open ?

while going thru command prompt it show me that folder but says "access denied" .I can't change the security permission to gain access on my name because this folder is not viewble.

You are being blocked because you are running as a standard user because of UAC (User Account Control). Run the command prompt elevated and then you will have permissions. To run elevated, right click on the shortcut you use to start the command prompt and select Run elevated.

ok, what if i disable UAC ?
when i right click on CMD under start menu i didnt find "elevated" however i found option "run as administrator"
