Access folder contents

[Scott]

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

Those icons with shortcut arrows are not folders. They are junction points
that redirect legacy apps to the new folder locations in AppData.

In Vista, the c:\documents and settings folder has been replaced by the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...
