Try to open My Pictures folder via Paint does that work?

Here's also a registry key which allows you to take a full ownership of files/folders.

I think I did a full restore once and maybe this is locked in the backup files or something

Try to wipe all your System Restore poins and turn off System Restore.

I think because it is under documents and not pictures when it got restored it did not get restored or something like that it happened to a few other items that were not in their proper locations for backup
