Very simple: you log on as administrator, then you allow Borge to
access the folders with your pictures. The process is described in
detail in the Windows Help pages - just type in "Permission", then
go for "File Permissions" and for "Folder Permissions".

Your remark about nearly having a fit makes me wonder about
your backup process. I suspect there isn't one. Yet you can buy
a large hard disk in a USB case for very little money and use it
to back up all of your important files every week, then store it
in a safe place away from your PC.

I don't believe in free virus scanners. I pay my dues, and neither I nor
any of my numerous clients (who use the same scanner) have ever
suffered any infections. One of them scores more than 100 infected
EMails each day. They are all intercepted before they even get to
the workstations.

I buy bulk licences of Trend Internet Security at A$30.00 per PC.

I buy them in bulk off the net and sell them to my clients. I live
in Oz, same as you.

I used to have a small bike a long time ago but I do
hate cars with bullbars.
