Windows 7 - My Music, My Pictures, My Videos not accessible and I'm the Admin!
I cannot get into my folders where I have videos, pictures and music. This is insane. I'm the admin of my machine.
How can I fix this?

Go to C:\users\
right click your username
Follow these steps in the screenshots to take ownership of that directory and to apply that ownership to all subdirectories. Then go back and add whoever you want to have access to the folder (maybe just you?) and also add SYSTEM. Then go to the last picture and propagate all security settings to child objects (subfolders).
Then scan for virii and malware. We use Microsoft Security Essentials (free) and Malwarebytes (free version available)

In case you can't get the permission set, you might have to take ownership of the folders instead. Sometimes you have to repeat this for subfolders.
Sorry, forgot the last screenshot with applying all changes to child objects (subfolders)
