Access denied to the Admin for the seemingly random folders, folder modified permissions does not work

I created a clean installation of Windows Pro 8.1

There is only one user, who is also the administrator

The tree of the default folders under My Documents (my music, my videos...) has apparently randomly locked access to 'user' / admin.

For example, if I look under C:\Users\"the a user"\Documents, it opens fine.

C:\Users\"the a user"\Documents\My Media, it opens fine.

C:\Users\"the a user" \Documents\My photos and I get "you not currently have permission to access this folder.

If I try to change by right-clicking the locked folder security settings, I see "a user", administrators and System have all allow for anything but special permissions.

A user called everyone has only marked as Deny authorization.  Nothing else scored.

The same goes for any folder that I'm locked.

Any folder that I can access does not even own the Everyone user.

I read a LOT of pages and articles on the web on change permissions.  None of them work because when I get to the point where I can try and change the permission to everyone, the option to do so is always locked.  Its as if for some records I'm seen as a non-admin, so no change is possible.

For any folder that I can access, I can change and rearrange any permission I want.

If I opened Control Panel under user accounts, there is not anyone listed, it's just the "a user."

Any suggestions?

Hello

On my machine of a user C:\Users\"the" \Documents\My photos you mention would be a hidden folder...

I think that there is a residual folder of XP, my images no longer located in My Documents...

"My photos is now directly in the C:\Users\"the a user "folder that you used in your example...

If you really want to have access to another, you can try just by removing the "everyone"

Or... you can click on the options at the bottom of the permissions and actually change the ownership of the folder... I don't know if I would mess with that if.
