Vista folders
I recently had a crash on my servers that when I fixed started giving me
problems with DFS. I have gotten DFS to work with the windows XP machines, but the Vista machines are giving me fits. Following the XP-Vista roaming profiles whitesheet I have set it up correctly but am now unable to access Documents, Music and Pictures from the Start menu, though videos work fine. The only way I can access them is to go through the C drive and Users. Now I have 3 files in the Users folder that I believe were for those previously, but I cannot access the files. They are 0 bytes and cannot be deleted or modified. I feel they were for this and would like to reestablish the connection to them.

Vista folders
Tried taking ownership of the folders. This still did not fix the problem.
Going to properties on the start menu for documents, music and pictures brings up a blank link. There is nothing on the general tab no name, no size, no nothing. The sync center shows that everything is in sync. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: You may want to take over the ownership.

Are you using DFS replication?
