"The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder."

So I go on my pc after like 3 days of not using it, and all of a sudden I am getting the error in my title when I open itunes. I tried re installing- nothing. I googled this problem and tried EVERYTHING they said... making it not read only, allowing everyone to have permission... etc... Can someone please help!!!! I am running windows 7 64bit. thank you!

Alright that means you dont have Ultimate. You have Home Premium. What you did was unlock the hidden Administrator account. So you might want to disable that again. Wrong topic linked to in previous post. It should be this one:

ok, I couldnt undo the admin thing from the first one... and I followed the other guide and checked that box, still the same thing :/

I fixed the admin thing, but I did your second guide and it still wont work

Try this.

1. Copy ‘iTunes 4 Music Library' and ‘iTunes Music Library.xml' out of your Music/iTunes folder. Put them on your Desktop.

2. Delete those two files from your Music/iTunes folder. Now the only thing in there will be your ‘iTunes Music' folder (unless you keep that somewhere else, of course).

3. Start iTunes. It opens up empty. Now quit iTunes. Notice it has created new, empty ‘iTunes 4 Music Library' and ‘iTunes Music Library.xml' files.

4. Delete those new files. Copy your old files from your Desktop back into your Music/iTunes folder.

5. Start iTunes again. Presto! Everything's back to normal!

I attached a picture mak, I do not have that first file you said. Also, what I discovered is that if I go into start>c> program files x86 > itunes, then right click the itunes.exe icon and hit run as admin, it works. Any ideas? Can;t get it to work from my desktop though, even as admin, from the same icon copied.

I dont know what to tell you. I dont use iTunes nor have it installed on any machine i own. Those steps are what i found on other sites. Iwould try Apples support forums. It iz tbeir software after all.
