Can't Access User\send To

I am using Vista Home Enhanced
When I try to acess user\send to folder , it's denied.

There are some dialog boxes , and when I select a user ( I am
the only one ) , all the read /write/modify etc are checked .

Vista's help, tells I have to take onwership of this folder,
but there is no place where I can check the ownership.

Is this a limitation of Vista Home ? Did I miss anything ?
In case it's a limitation , are there any power toys utilities
compatible with vista ? ( or something like it )
 
Hi,

It's because that is not a folder but a pointer, the real SendTo folder is
here:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

There are many pointers in the User folder that are used to redirect
programs that expect certain folders to be someplace they are not. They look
like folders with a shortcut arrow. You can't access them as they are not
really folders, just an icon for an redirect to the new location.

The SendTo folder you are trying to open is not a regular folder. It's
called a Junction and it is only there for backwards compatibility.

The current, active SendTo folder for your user account is here:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

You need to Disable the "Show hidden files and folders" in Control
Panel/Folder Options/View Tab. This will hide all of the Junctions and make
navigating your files and folders much easier.
