Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied.
In Vista, it's not a folder.
Vista uses a different file structure than XP does/did. Those familiar folder names you may be used to, like "My Documents", "Documents & Settings", etc. are not folders in Vista. They are junction points, and are used for legacy programs which were written to utilize the XP file structure. They will redirect the programs to use the equivalent Vista folders. If you keep the protected operating system files hidden, you won't see them. In Vista...... Documents & Settings - \Users My Documents - \Users\youraccount\Documents My Music - \Users\youraccount\Music Application Data - \Users\youraccount\AppData etc. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP1 http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "ITNews" wrote in message ... As I was trying to browse got the following message: Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. Cannot browse the folder even after I took the ownership. Any help will be appreciated! |
