Hi Mike..
Not an Up-Grade, but a clean full install of Windows 7 Professional... 
As I said previously all my partitions are on the same drive (none are
external) and C:\ was used to install Windows 7  O/S,... (Win XP
Professional SP3 was located there previously)
D:\ and P:\ were untouched by the Win7 install so I only needed to
re-install my working programmes on D:\..
Surely "permissions" shouldn't come into Windows when you are logged on as
Administrtor, this aspect is much more relevant in Linux surely.....
It must be said that only GnuCash and Thunderbird Email have been acting
like this, although I've now got Thunderbird performing OK, GnuCash is
not...
Thanks for the suggestions Mike..
Ron...
