| Access folder contents Although I have administrator right on my account, I cannot access the contents of Documents and Settings folder. Do I need to do something different from Windows XP in order to access the contents of that folder? Thanks, Scott      |

They are junction points that redirect legacy apps to the new folder locations in AppData. ss. |

| Re: Access folder contents In Vista, the c:\documents and settings folder has been replaced by the c:\users folder. The documents and settings folder you see has nothing in it other than providing a place to redirect legacy programs to the new users folder. Go to the c:\users folder and do what you like... -Frank "Scott" <NoSpam-Scott.Xe******.com> wrote in message news:OziRVUrUHHA.2212@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...[color=blue] > Although I have administrator right on my account, I cannot access the > contents of Documents and Settings folder.
