Gary,
The lock symbol is a new "feature" of Win 7 that indicates that the file(s)
is not shared with other users. You should be able to perform normal tasks
on the files. You may want to consider moving the files to the directory
preferred by Windows.

Subject: RE: Data Files in WinSDR, Windows 7

Thank you Brett and Geoffrey,
When I installed WinSDR in the new Windows 7 PC, I used the default location
for the data files. This AM I took Geoffrey's suggestion and changed the
location for events and data folders to my Documents folder. Now I can see
the data file. But I guess I have lost my previous events and data.
Gary

Gary,

Dave and I have both seen something similar with our Windows 7.  It 
possibly relates to the data redirection done by Windows 7 User 
Account Control.  Actually, it's a pretty good file system, but can 
really be confusing to people who in the past have managed their own 
files and file locations.

Now, no data is to be stored in program-file directories--only programs.

See: 
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/developers/archive/2009/08/04/user-acco
unt-control-data-redirection.aspx

which explains what's probably going on.

Brett
