    I keep running into this problem when setting up my new dv8339, after I've copied my audio folder and World of Warcraft folder from my desktop over to the laptop, I can't access them or even delete them. I get the Access is Denied error.

    Any ideas??

    Thanks

    If you copied them from a CD, they are probably set as Read-Only. Right-click and select "Properties" and you should be able to turn off the Read-Only attribute.
