The Application Data sub-folder under the c:\users\username folder has a
shortcut symboil next to it and when you try to access it i get an access is denied error. Why is this? I have full local administrative rights. There are other folders that do it to. Cookies, nethood etc. What gives? |

What you are seeing are junctions, or symlinks. They are not real folders,
but are there as pointers for legacy applications, to enable compatibility with Vista's new folder structure. In Vista, Application Data is replaced by AppData. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) "Haggis" wrote in message ...
