Outlook.pst permission issue

Solved

Hello,

since this morning, I've been desperately trying to access my emails. Indeed, when I try to open Outlook Express, I receive the following error message:

"Cannot open your default email folders. Access to the file is denied. You do not have the necessary permissions to access the file C:/users/Benoit/AppData/Local/microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst"

After that, the only option available is "OK", and the program closes.

My user account has administrator status, and I went to check the permissions settings for this file; it seems that I have full control over it. I have been browsing forums for a while now, but I can't find a solution.

I tried to resolve the issue with a software (pstrepair, I believe), but it did not work...

If I delete the file, Outlook does not start because it cannot find the mentioned Outlook.pst file...

Does anyone have a solution?

Config: Windows Vista and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.5.5

Your pst is read-only: right-click on it, go to properties, and uncheck the read-only option.
