He said that he can't copy and paste them because he keeps getting told he doesn't have permission to, therefore preventing him from putting them on a flash drive or "stick."

George, this may help you. Permissions won't take; can't create/move files. - Microsoft Community I'm not a computer expert, but it looks like he has the same problem as you did. I hope this helps you out.

That is what I tried earlier doing, and no luck. It says I am the current owner, but wont let me open, copy and paste, nothing. I cant even see what the pictures looks like.
