How can I download my photos from my phone to PC if they are appearing locked on my PC?

[Android Central Question]

I have my phone connected to my PC and see the files which show photos exist, however each photo is a lock icon showing i cannot open them/download them.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are the photos in a Secure Folder, or otherwise hidden using some kind of file locker?
