📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user experiencing permission issues accessing personal photos stored in a D:/ partition after reinstalling Windows 8.1 without creating a Microsoft account. The original poster suspects the problem may stem from the reinstallation process or account setup, as they can no longer access files in their self-created "fotos" directory. Respondents suggest performing a clean reinstall and ensuring proper permissions, with clarification about the directory's location and Windows features, ultimately indicating that re-establishing ownership and permissions might resolve the access issues.

Hi,

I had to reinstall with my flash stick w8.1 & now all fotos do not open saying I do not have the correct permission. I am the administrator.

Could it be because I chose not to create an MS account? I do not think that I signed for MS acc. before. ....thanx ....nick

Was the D partition part of the original C drive when you reinstalled windows 8.1?

Also just noticed notepad, pdf, pictures & word files are inaccessible in the "FOTO" directory whilst elsewhere all open

If only I could get control in Foto although I am administrator, but how.

I think the reinstall was corrupted in some form and you should perform a new clean install and then sign up/in with a MS account.

Questioin: the "PHOTO" software is question; is that the app (tile) you are using to open your pictures.

Cracky "B",

I created years ago fotos directory in partition D & I save all my fotos in it.

All through out the changes of my PC all items in it were opening Ok until now. I somehow I lost control of this directory now.
