Actually, it seems to be the entire C drive
EDIT - however, it only seems to be with moving folders, for example .exe or .ini or text files can be moved. I have no idea what the issue is and would really appreciate getting this fixed ASAP.

I can make new folders and move them around yes. Just some skins for rainmeter, but it doesnt matter whats in the folders.
If its any folder and i try to move for eg documents or desktop to C drive, i get that error.
Are you able to move any folders in safe mode or do you get the same error? Also check the Ownership of the folders, maybe the permissions got changed by mistake
Perhaps a virus has somehow added the system attribute to all your folders so maybe check that to

Tried to replicate the problem but no luck
If you've tried the above and are sure that there is nothing in the folders that your system is using then im out of ideas.
I rate the your best bet is to start a thread on Link Removed - Invalid URL and get one of the Microsoft guru's to take a look

You can also right-click on the drive letter, choose properties. On the Security tab what group is listed there.
Everyone?
You can also use this registry script to Take Ownership
Copy and paste the info inside the quote into Notepad, choose Save As, then select All Files from the drop-down menu box and type in takeownership.reg. Save it to your desktop and double-click on it to merge it intro the registry. this will place Take Ownership of files and right-click context menu for complete directories.

hah, still no different made as far as i can tell it doesnt seem to be an issue with admin rights or anything, its the fact that something is accessing the drive and causing me to not be able to move folders into it. Its got me quite stumped

This is probably out of my league.
I do not run the 64-bit edition, but have heard that the 32-bit Windows Programs are located in this directory.
Do you have Show Hidden Files, check the box for know extensions, and show protected operating system files?
Id there a lock on the folder?
