hello, i have a problem with Users - none of my Users in the administrators
group, not even the default Administrator, are able to see all the
folders/file under Documents & Settings. very annoying. Can anyone tell me
how to fix this?

Make sure you can view hidden files.
Open My Computer.
Click Tools
Click Folder Options
Click View tab
Check "Show hidden files and folders"
Uncheck "Hide extensions..."
Uncheck "Hide protected..."
Click OK and follow prompts.
Search again.
Set settings back to original when done.

goto my computer

press Alt + T + O
press Control + Tab
check the "show hidden files and folders" option
uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)"
option
to also view the extensions for files
uncheck the "hide extensions for known file types" option

THIS SHOULD BE ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
