    Thanks Arie but this goes beyond that this time.
    A lot more complex.

    Thanks everyone for your kind help.
    The solution I found was to right click EACH folder /Properties/Security/Change Permissions/Full Control/Apply/OK

    A rather tedious task but well worth the effort.
    I got myself into this mess so have to work my way out of it....given time haha.
    Anyway the info might be useful for others.
