How do I get access to root folders? [Solved on my own]

Hey… I am a novice to Linux and I am trying to move a skin-file into this folder:

/root/local/share/vlc/skins2/

But it says access denied!

How do I get access to root folders?

Man… Linux can be so frustrating sometimes!

Solution:

Open folder you desire access to.
right click within it
Select Root Actions
Then select Ownership To Active User
Then enter your root password

If you are trying to move a file from one root folder to another,
you will need to do this in both folders, which will then give the
access for each folder.

IF I am doing this wrong, please let me know.
But for now, It Worked!~

Why are you even using the root account for VLC?
Installing the skins on your own user account would be better I think.
