Re: Documents and settings
I'm having the same issues. Were you able to find a cure for the problem.
I understand that it's a legacy folder, but I still need access to it and others under the users folder. I'm logged in as Domain Admin and have turned off UAC under the msconfig.

Re: Documents and settings
I am having the same problem in that I can't access these folders. Trying
to change security settings does not work as I get an 'access denied' when I try to do it. "Shoeless AJ" wrote: > I'm having the same issues.

Highlight your named entry and make sure the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box at the bottom is check marked. Click on okay and you should receive a message about changing ownership and reopening.. |

Re: Documents and settings
Hello,
Many folders used by earlier versions of Windows have been moved to a new location or given a new name in Windows Vista. However, the old folders can still be seen if you have enabled Show Hidden Files. Notice they are displayed with a transparent icon and a shortcut symbol. Although these look like folders, they are actually what is known as a junction. Junctions behave like shortcuts, but look just like regular folders. Their purpose is to silently redirect programs that access them to their Windows Vista equivalent. Since junctions aren't really folders, it is not possible to access them, and any attempt to do so will give you an "Access Denied" error. You can use the command prompt to tell which folders are junctions and where they point to by issuing the "dir /a" command. - JB Vista Support FAQ http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
