Recently, I made my computer show hidden files and folders. I am an admin on my computer, but when I click on the Itunes "Application Data" folder, it still denies me permission. What can I do to fix this?

Is iTunes open?

No, and it isn't anywhere in my process list either...
I can't even access the C:\Documents and Settings Folder..
My dad got the first account on the computer, then made my account and made it an administrator, does that have anything to do with it? Do I need to use his account?

So this is XP, I presume.
As long as your account is administrator, that shouldn't be a problem, I'm really not sure.
1. Can you access the files from your dad's account?
2. Can you access the files from your own account in safe mode?

Vista.
And all I'm trying to do is jailbreak my itocuh 2.1, actually./

Maybe it's because there is no C:\Documents and Settings folder on Vista. The folder you're looking for is in C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData.

I have checked, and there is documents and settings, it was a hidden file, and it was in documents and settings, but I can't access it.

In Vista, the old Application Data folder's files are contained in AppData. I have no idea why they changed the name, but I suppose the Application Data folder still exists to be compatible with the Windows NT Vista is built on. Just a crazy hypothesis though.

Disregard my previous post, I suck cocks.
Look in C:\ProgramData.
EDIT:
I had been so quick to say there was no Documents and Settings before because I'm relatively new to Vista and had the recommended system files hidden (thumbs.dbs everywhere was annoying). The folder's there, but it's not where any application data really exists, there are other places for that, for user app data, and for global app data. Sorry about that.

I also just tried my Dad's account, from his I also cannot accesss it.
