Access is denied

[Diane Walker]

We are running Windows Vista Business Edition. I belong to the
Administrators Group (under User Accounts). When I click on Documents and
Settings, I got the error message. It said "Documents and Settings is not
accessible. Access is denied" Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Where are you clicking on "Documents and Settings"? It sounds like you are
clicking on one of the legacy links instead of the Vista Documents folder
you really want. There are links that redirect writes to the user area to
accomodate legacy programs that attempt to write to Program Files (this is
now a protected folder).

HI Diane,
Documents and Setting is not a real folder in Vista. It is a junction that
is used to direct legacy programs to Vista's file structure. There are others
too, e.g. My Music.
Vista uses C:\Users\user name\documents, etc.
