I'm trying to copy "my pictures" from one computer to another.

When I try, I get
Cannot copy adriana: Access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write protected
and that the file is not currently in use.

=======================

By trying various subdirectories, I drilled down to the file in
question, adriana.html.

On my old computer, I don't see any funny attributes, but I also can't
edit it. Access is denied.

I tried setting this file's folder (and below) to uncheck the read
only, but it failed at this file.

I went to the command line and saw:
C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\My Documents\My Pictures\2003 part
2\Pics from
Ian\quinn 2002\adriana>attrib *.html
A C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\My Documents\My
Pictures\2003 part 2
\Pics from Ian\quinn 2002\adriana\adriana.html

C:\Documents and Settings\brazee\My Documents\My Pictures\2003 part
2\Pics from
Ian\quinn 2002\adriana>


What is my next step?
