Access Denied When Files Moved

[BW]

When I move a file, or folder, on my drive, it becomes
inaccessible. The error message comes up with the
locations, then "is not accssible. Access is Denied".

I've had this error for some time, but have not been able
to find anyone who'd ever run into this before. Today, I
accidentally moved my mouse while double clicking to open
a folder. It moved that folder to another one before I
could stop it. I had YEARS of pics in that folder. Now,
when I try to open the folder, after its move to the
folder it was moved to in error, it gives me the above
error.

If I can't recover from this, I might just have to go cry
for a month.
