This is generally a preset feature in later operating systems. If you continue the operation, you should be prompted to grant yourself permission to access the folder and windows will no longer ask you for rights afterward.
If you are on a networked computer, you will have to ask the owner to give you permission to the folder you are requesting access to, because it is a security feature.

Windows cannot access specified device path or file you may not have the appropriate permissions

Is your account an "administrator" account? This is important in 7 as well as Vista.

Also, did you install whatever it was to an external drive? If so, Windows 7 is bad about changing drive letters of external hard disks every time you restart. If this is the case, click your start orb and right click on "Computer" then left click on "Manage."

In the left pane, there will be "Disk Management." Click on it and give it a second for everything to populate. There are a list of all your drives in the middle towards the bottom. You can right click in their partitions and left click "change drive letter." From there you can change them back to what they where before and things will start working again.

As far as permissions go, they're a pain if you change stuff over manually. But, there is an easy way if you know specifically what folder or file you need permissions to use:
Add Take Ownership to Explorer Right Click Menu in Win 7 8 or Vista
This will add a right click context item where you can seize permissions quick like. It's SUPER handy.

How can I set Outlook so that it's separate access for my boss and I to communicate or for me to view his calendar (mirror)? Can I do this? HOW? Please provide the printscreen pics. Not sure why, but...

1. How can I set Outlook so that it's separate access for my boss and I?
r:/ question: are you both (you and your boss) using the same computer account?, as long as you have outlook installed and if your boss and you are using different accounts you should have separate access to outlook.

2. view his calendar (mirror): usully you would need an exchange server, if you do see if this helps: sorry I have no pics but try to follow the instructions and post back with your questions:

this is assuming you have outlook 2003

In Calendar, in the Navigation Pane (Navigation Pane: The column on the left side of the Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and the shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items in the folder.), click Share My Calendar.

1.

HideI don't see Share My Calendar
Share My Calendar does not appear unless you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account. What is an Exchange Server account? Also, if you have the Navigation Pane turned off or covered by the main Calendar window, you won't see it. Hide or show the Navigation Pane.
2. Do one of the following:

HideAllow anyone to access your Calendar
1. In the Name box, click Default.
2. Under Permissions, in the Permission Level list, click the permission level that you want.

For details about permission levels, see Outlook folder permissions.

You can create custom permissions by selecting the check boxes and options under Permissions.

HideSpecify the people who can access your Calendar
1. Click Add.
2. In the Add Users dialog box, in the Type Name or Select from List box, enter the name of the person whom you want to grant sharing permissions to.
3. Under Add Users, click Add, and then click OK.
4. In the Name box, click the name of the person you just added.
5. Under Permissions, in the Permission Level list, click the permission level that you want.

For details about permission levels, see Outlook folder permissions.

You can create custom permissions by selecting the check boxes and options under Permissions.

Important If you select the Private check box on a Calendar item in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, do not grant Read permission to your Calendar folder to anyone whom you do not want to see private items. A person who is granted Read permission to access your folders could use programmatic methods or other e-mail applications to view the details in a private item.


source:
sharing a calendar in outlook

now if you don't have an exchange server you may need another tool to make this work: like officecalendar, or try to see if the instructions proposed in the following link work

good luck!

Try this:
To change permissions for a disk, folder, or file:

  2. Choose a permission for yourself from the pop-up menu. If the menu is dimmed, you don't have permission to change this setting.
  3. To change permissions for the owner, group, or others, click Detail. If necessary, click the lock icon and, when prompted, enter the name and password of an administrator user of your computer.
  4. Choose permissions for each type of user from the Access pop-up menus.
